Fourme d'Ambert

A well-balanced blue from southern France, one of the country’s oldest cheese traditions.  Our wheels are selected and aged by master affineur Hervé Mons, who helps the cheese develop its signature creaminess and even, slightly sweet flavor. 

Like so many French blue cheeses, Fourme d’Ambert is buttery and soft on the tongue, with a pleasant earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with apples or pears.  The balance of sweet to earthy flavors make this a great blue cheese to bake with.  Delicious as a dessert course with a sweet white wine – try a Vouvray or an aged Tokaji.
