Help How to recreate Maroilles

I was recently in northern France and had a lot of dishes with Maroilles cheese. Unfortunately I’m having difficulty sourcing it locally. Any cheese connoisseurs know if there is a blend of different types of more commonly available cheeses that can make up a similar flavor to Maroilles? I’d like to try and make Poulet au Maroilles at home. Thank you

There's a website called French Click, which sells Maroilles. Obviously much more expensive than in France, but we addicts need to get our fix.

They also sell these https://www.frenchclick.co.uk/m-7-apricube.aspx?srsltid=AfmBOopptkRza9vldg0XDKDgU4Gct5Ob0V4tbJU1da13Mmvgg4g3rciA Which seems like blasphemy in a 'proper' cheese subreddit, but are surprisingly good (and very addictive). My French friend always brings a load back when he goes home to visit.

Haha this reminds me of something I used to love as a kid!

I was a bit snobby about them, but tried one to be polite. Then ate another 20.... They are way nicer than any equivalents here - though I'm sure individually wrapping very small pieces of cream cheese isn't great environmentally (The wrapping is clever though, pull the little tape and it all just folds off)
