Boulette d'Avesnes is a cone shaped gourmet cheese with a natural rind given a dark red color by the use of annatto or paprika. It has a very strong taste. Its nickname is 'suppositoire du diable' (the devil's suppository).

The soft curd is kneaded and mashed with parsley, tarragon, pepper and paprika and shaped by hand into a pointed pear. This gourmet cheese is typical for spicy texture. Maturing takes two to three months.

Sample the Boulette d'Avesnes with rich bread, and a cold beer and you will experience that the spiciness and creaminess of the cheese will not be overpowering.
