Charles de Gaulle famously remarked that it was impossible to govern a country with 246 different cheeses, and perhaps he was right. Every French cheese carries an essence of the place where it is made, its history, identity, and landscape. Sometimes, this is a physical thing, as the hard texture of Comté echoes its mountainous home in the Jura. Other times, it is about power and politics, with Brie swelling to royal dimensions due to its proximity to the French court or Camembert gaining national status after being supplied in patriotic boxes to First World War soldiers. In A Cheesemonger's Tour de France, Ned Palmer wends his way around the country's regions, meeting the remarkable cheesemongers who carry the torch for France's oldest and most treasured traditions. As he explains the mysteries of terroir and why each of those different fromages taste as they do, he shows that a French cheeseboard offers genuine insights into la Belle République.
