This sheeps milk cheese from Corsica is variously called Brindamour, Brin dAmour, and Fleur du Maquis. A strikingly beautiful cheese, Fleur du Maquis is sold at many stages of ripeness. When young, its coating of rosemary needles is still green and the interior of the cheese is snow white with a fresh, sheeps milk flavor. As the cheese ages, the interior gets soft and develops a stronger flavor, while the rosemary dries and browns. It also displays the characteristic fuzzy blue edible mold coating in between the rosemary needle, peppers, and juniper berries that rest on top. The interior is still firm and the flavor has absorbed the herbs of its coating. Fleur du Maquis pairs better with savory flavors than with sweet things like fruit. Try it with olives, tomatoes, and fresh peppers.
