About Pong Cheese
They’re like you…they LOVE cheese! Everyone loves cheese.
They also think it’s handled unfairly in the UK, where it rarely gets the spotlight until the last course of a meal is served and when they’re all stuffed. At restaurants, they often have to pick between dessert and cheese. To put an end to all this madness and restore cheese’s rightful place, Pong was born.
Over nine in ten British families eat cheese, and the average Brit consumes around ten kg a year! It may sound like a lot, but think about it: the French, Italians, Greeks, and Germans eat breakfast more often, which means they consume more cheese each day.
Pong was established with the intention of delivering to you the finest cheeses from the most renowned independent and artisan producers in the United Kingdom, together with all the beloved classics from across Europe and the globe. In most cases, a distinct and expertly executed process goes into making each cheese, turning it into a miniature work of art in terms of flavor and texture. Whether it’s the now-famous “Stinking Bishop” or the odd-looking but delicious “Langres,” every cheese on the menu at Pong is deserving of center stage.
Two pals from Bath, Somerset’s “Napa Valley” of cheese, came up with Pong. The Cheese Club, the most popular cheese subscription service in the United Kingdom, was born out of their love and expertise of cheese; each month, members receive a new shipment of exquisite cheeses sourced from all over the world.
BAKED CHEESES
Some people believe that the flavor of cheese that has been melted is the best flavor in the entire world. These lovely treats are ideal for serving as appetizers or as a warming treat when baked in the oven.
REBLOCHON AOC
An approximate translation of the French phrase “reblocher” is “re-pinch the cow’s udder.” The word “reblocher” originates from the French language. According to this information, the preparation of this renowned ancient cheese involves making use of the second batch of milk that is produced each day. This is done in order to ensure that the cheese is particularly creamy and exquisitely flavorful.
CAMEMBERT DE NORMANDIE AOC
Camembert is the cheese that is mimicked the most all over the world, and the reason for this is that the formula that is used to make this AOC cheese that is manufactured in Reaux is the one that is used. In addition to being superb, it is so much better than imitations of Camembert that it gives the appearance of being an entirely other cheese. This is because it is that much superior.
VACHERIN MONT D’OR AOC
What you are looking at is the kind of cheese that has the potential to make you cry. There is nothing else on the market that can compare to the lovely soft center. When eating Mont d’Or, the only method to consume it is to heat it in the oven until the cheese becomes runny, which typically takes no more than fifteen minutes. This, of course, is an excellent way to start a conversation and a topic of discussion.
To what extent does it taste? This is the unpasteurized form of the French champagne known as Vacherin Mont d’Or, which is produced in Switzerland, which is located close across the border. It has an aroma that is unmistakably that of alpine milk, and it is absolutely stunning and creamy beyond description.
Originating from where? The foothills of the Jura Mountains are the location where this unpasteurized AOC Mont D’Or produces its wine. The Mont d’Or cheese is packaged in a charming wooden box that weighs approximately 450 grams and can be used to bake the cheese directly.
EPOISSES DE BOURGOGNE AOC
Epoisses de Bourgogne AOC is a distinctive cheese that has been enjoyed by food enthusiasts for centuries. This French cheese is produced exclusively in the Burgundy region, using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. Its pungent aroma and creamy texture make it a favorite among cheese connoisseurs. The cheese is also widely recognized for its unique orange rind, which is a result of being washed in Marc de Bourgogne, a type of brandy. Epoisses de Bourgogne AOC is best enjoyed with a glass of full-bodied red wine and some crusty bread. As a professional, it’s easy to appreciate the artistry and skill that goes into making this exceptional cheese.
If their cheese were called Epoisses, that would be their name. Due of its extremely intense flavor, this monstrosity should be tried by all. Not only is the perfume delightful, but the flavor amazing as well surprisingly meaty and just slightly spicy.

One of Europe’s most picturesque and recognizable mountain ranges, the Alps extend from France all the way to Austria.
