Vacherin Mont D'Or
This cheese is out of stock for the season. Please check back in November of 2018!
Vacherin Mont D'Or is perhaps one of the most sought-after cheeses on the market. A thermalized cow's milk cheese wrapped in spruce to contain the woodsy liquid interior that, with one taste, commands spontaneous exuberance.Â
Extremely rare and highly seasonal, Vacherin Mont d'Or hails from Switzerland on the border of France near the mountain D'Or. Traditionally made with the winter milk of the same cows that produce Gruyere in the summer, this cheese is only available from October until April, making it all the more precious. The cheese must be made from cows munching on straw and fodder; once outside to graze at pasture, their milk is used for larger alpine cheeses. Swiss regulations also dictate the cheese must be produced at elevations of 2,297 feet or higher. Not a dictate, but we highly recommend you enjoy this delectable cheese with a bottle of Gewurtztraminer.
