Vacherin Mont D’or Cheese

From the brie family, Vacherin MOnt D’or is a seasonal cheese made when the cows come lower down the mountain making the milk fattier, thicker and making for a richer and creamier cheese. 

Like most bries, this is a rich cheese with a smooth flavour, as it’s made from pasteurised cow’s milk, it offers a full-flavoured and slightly acidic taste. To make things interesting, this cheese becomes almost liquid after maturation.

How to Enjoy

Hennart would say this is best enjoyed in a fondue style… we agree! BUT this is a phenomenal cheese that deserves its own platform… it’s one for the books and a sure to be favourite for soft cheese lovers!
