Romans

Curated by the master affineurs at Fromagerie Janier in Lyon, Roman is a luscious and indulgent cheese, considered a richer, creamier cousin to the classic Saint-Félicien. Under the guidance of Christian Janier, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, it is selected for its decadent texture and profound flavour, representing the pinnacle of soft-ripened cow’s milk cheeses.

This ultra-creamy cheese is crafted from rich cow’s milk and features an edible, bloomy white rind that encases a sumptuously soft, almost flowing interior when perfectly ripe. Its flavour is deeply buttery and rich, with pronounced notes of fresh cream and cultured butter, and a subtle, savoury tang that develops as it ages.

Best enjoyed at room temperature, when its texture becomes luxuriously spoonable. Serve on a crusty baguette or with a spoon to savour its pure, unadulterated creaminess. It pairs beautifully with a glass of fruity, aromatic white Burgundy or a sparkling Crémant de Bourgogne.

Storage: Keep refrigerated. Remove from the refrigerator at least one hour before serving to allow its full creamy texture and flavour to develop.
