500g Vacherin Mont d’Or cheese.

Vacherin has a yielding texture and a soft, pale brown rind. It’s packaged in a circular spruce box that flavours the cheese while also keeping it in shape (it can be very runny when ripe). The flavour is full-bodied, slightly sweet, and has grassy undertones.

Awarded a gold medal in 2022 at the Paris Agriculture Competition making it one of the best vacherin to sample.

Vacherin Mont d’Or is a raw-milk cheese made in the Jura region in France and is extremely rare and highly seasonal: it is only available to buy from mid-September to April, making it all the more prized. It is traditionally manufactured with the winter milk of the same cows that produce Comte in the summer.

We recommend baking this gooey, flavourful cheese with garlic and rosemary and serving with crusty French bread for a real treat.

Dark mould on vacherin cheese is normal and can be scraped off if desired (although some people enjoy eating it!).

Vacherin can be frozen.
