点评:Their collection of cheeses is immense. And I have been to lots of fromageries in France.
Hess had most of my favorites (Langres and Livort in particular). I also noticed that every restaurant we went to that had cheese for dessert …which was all of them…had cheese from Hess.
The fellow who helped us at the shop, both times I went there, was from the US (Atlanta , and i think he said his folks were French) so getting good explanations of some of the cheeses i was not familiar with was easy, but I found most of the staff spoke good English as well. There are so many cheeses, so its hard to know what each is like without a good explanation.
Prices were reasonable and , because I was buying other cheeses, they were able to give me a taste of one I had never tried…but glad I did taste it as it was too plain for me! ( I saw some reviews that complained about getting a sample, but keep in mind you can only get a sample from the cheeses that are already open and come in a larger wheel where they cut you a slice by the kilo. They cannot give you a taste of some of the smaller, individual, cheeses, like Langres (which btw is a wonderful , strong taste and smell, soft cheese)
Highly recommend visiting the shop. But beware…once you walk through the door…the smell will be intoxicating and its going to be hard to leave without buying a lot.
翻译:他们的奶酪种类繁多,令人叹为观止。我在法国也去过很多奶酪店。
Hess 几乎囊括了我最喜欢的几种奶酪(尤其是朗格勒奶酪和利沃奶酪)。我还注意到,我们去过的所有以奶酪作为甜点的餐厅……实际上所有餐厅都提供奶酪甜点……用的都是 Hess 的奶酪。
我两次去 Hess,接待我们的都是美国人(来自亚特兰大,我记得他说过他的父母是法国人),所以很容易就能了解一些我不熟悉的奶酪。不过,我发现店里的大部分员工英语也都很好。奶酪种类繁多,如果没有详细的讲解,很难分辨每种奶酪的味道。
价格也很合理。因为我买了其他奶酪,他们还让我尝了一种我从未尝试过的奶酪……不过我很高兴自己尝了尝,因为它的味道对我来说太淡了! (我看到一些评论抱怨说没法拿到试吃装,但请注意,只有已经开封的大块奶酪才能试吃,他们会按公斤切一块给你。一些小块的、单独的奶酪,比如朗格勒奶酪(顺便说一句,这是一种味道和香气都很浓郁的软质奶酪),他们是不提供试吃的。)
强烈推荐去这家店逛逛。不过要小心……一旦你踏进店门……那香味就会让你陶醉,很难空手而归。
