Mont d'Or medium PDO MONTS DE JOUX
415065
Mont d'Or, also known as “Vacherin,” takes its name from the highest mountain in the Doubs region. A seasonal mountain cheese, it is produced at an altitude of 700 meters from August 15 to March 15, outside of the grazing season. It is aged for at least 21 days on spruce boards, which give it its characteristic clean taste, then in its spruce box, its rind is wrinkled like its native mountains. Its creamy, smooth, and melt-in-the-mouth texture can be enjoyed with a teaspoon. It weighs around 750g including the spruce wood box. This Mont d'Or is an essential treat during the cold season. It is perfect for a cheese platter or for the famous “boîte chaude” (hot box): placed in the oven with a little white wine and garlic, it becomes a convivial and tasty dish, often served with potatoes and a salad. Suggested accompaniment: white wine from Arbois.
