Cheese Room > Beaufort Chalet d'Alpage
France, Savoie
Classic high mountain cheese selected from small traditional producer selecting cheeses from the summer milk forms made and matured in the mountain chalets. Creamy, pale gold colour, smooth but as it ages cracks appear ripening the cheese. Lovely almost sweet nutty flavour, rich and never abrasive on the tongue even with aged cheeses. The high mountain cheeses benefit from cattle grazing on supremely clean, unpolluted summer pastures studded with aromatic flowers and alpine flora, ultimately producing rich, fragrant and elegant cheeses. Good to note it keeps well even in poor conditions.
