C'est La Musique - Episode 4

Cancoillotte is gloopy, smelly, difficult to pronounce (CON-KWAH-YOWT), and suddenly all over French TikTok.

The centuries-old cheese from Franche-Comté has been reinvented as a low-fat, high-protein fitness food, becoming France’s unlikely answer to America’s cottage-cheese obsession. But its rise reveals something much bigger, the way French attitudes toward food may be changing.

Caroline and Emily trace cancoillotte from its origins as a way to use leftover skim milk through wartime industrialization, French spelling fame and its current TikTok explosion. Along the way, they ask what happens when a food culture traditionally built around pleas...

Coffee shops in Paris are exploding. In fact, a new one opens in Paris every 3 days, according to a recent study. That's a far cry from 20 years ago, when one cafe roasted and served specialty coffee: Le Caféothèque (which still exists!). What's going on? Why has it accelerated, and can they all be considered specialty? Coffee roaster Mihaela Iordache , formerly of Belleville Brûlerie, join me to analyze the state of things, what is and ISN'T truly specialty, and which places she keeps returning to.

Reblochon: The Cheese Born From Tax Evasion. Reblochon is a soft, washed-rind cheese from the French Alps with a nutty, hazelnut character and a bark bolder than its bite — but its real story starts with a medieval tax dodge. In the fourteenth century, farmers in the Thônes valley deliberately under-milked their cows when the landlord's rent collector came to measure the yield, then finished milking in secret once he'd left.

This episode traces Reblochon from that act of quiet rebellion through...
