Maroilles (pronounced ''mar wahl'', also known as Marolles) is a cow's-milk cheese made in the regions of Picardy and Nord-Pas-de-Calais in northern France. It derives its name from the village of Maroilles in the region in which it is still manufactured. The cheese is sold in individual rectangular blocks with a moist orange-red washed rind and a strong smell. In its mass-produced form it is around 13 cm square and 6 cm in height, weighing around 700 g. In addition, according to its AOC regulations, cheeses eligible for AOC status can be one of three other sizes: *Sorbais - (3/4) 12-12.5 cm square, 4 cm high, 550 g in weight. ''ripening'': at least 4 weeks. *Mignon - (1/2) 11-11.5 cm square, 3 cm high, 350 g in weight. ''ripening'': at least 3 weeks. *Quart - (1/4) 8-8.5 cm square, 3 cm high, 180 g in weight. ''ripening'': at least 2 weeks. == History == Maroilles is often reported to have first been made in 962 by a monk in the Abbey of Maroilles. The cheese rapidly became famous throughout the region and was a favourite of several French kings including Philip II, Louis IX, Charles VI and Francis I. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maroilles cheese」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
