Tartare - one of the best French cheeses

Certain French people may find it blasphamous that I would dare try to consider Tartare as the best French cheese; after all it comes in a plastic tub. I and one of my great friends have a different opinion. Tartare is awesome!

So with no further ado - I present to you one of the best tasting French cheeses ever - Tartare.

Tartare - naturally good and with no preservatifs*

*Anglophones : be careful with this faux ami - Trust me, when you tell someone there are no condoms* (conservateurs) in your jelly, you’ll understand what I mean.

Tartare - what to eat with it

As some of you may know in typical French culture, meals often can include a cheese course. During this cheese course (which comes after the main dish and before dessert) different types of French cheeses are served with baguette “French bread” . It would therefore be safe to say that the marjority of French people eating Tartare, are probably spreading it on a bit of baguette. I have tried it this way and must admit that Tartare on a baguette is one of the best Tartare recipes that exists…

“Chips et tartare”

Tartare with potato chips is delicious. You must try it if you have the chance. You simply take your potato chip (crisp in British English) and scrape it across the top of your Tartare. The consistency of Tartare is rather thick with the consistancy of cold cream cheese and therefore I suggest using ridged potato chips which tend to be more sturdy.

Avis sur Tartare - opinons about Tartare

This herb spread is the best, none of similar cheese spreads like Boursin or generic come close to the distinct and refreshing flavor of the Orignal Tartare.

Comme toujours, letting everyone know, that I have no affiliation whatsoever with the producers of Tartare L’Original. Just testing out some French cheese and sharing my thoughts.
