Cheese

I need to redeem my tagline.  So what are the best cheese's in France?

Here's a start, but not ranked.

1/ Brillat-Savain, a triple cream, with additional cream.  The younger the better.
2/ artisan Camembert, of which only about 30 remain.  Ripeness depends on softness, and the color of the rind.  Actually, a very strong cheese.
3/ vielle Gouda.  Not  true a French cheese however.  Extremely hard/dry, and difficult even to slice from the round for the cheese vender.
4/ blue d'Auvergne.  This is to Roquefort as Armagnac is to Cognac
5/ les Chevres.  a wide variety of goat cheeses, from the soft like a camembert to a very hard cheese.  Nothing like it in the US.

I'm still looking for a cheese shop in the Twin Cities that does not keep it's cheese in plastic wrap.
