Vacherin Mont D’Or AOP is only made between 15th August & 15th March and so is only available to buy between September & May. It has a rich, sweet flavour with grassy undertones.
Vacherin Mont d’Or AOP is a soft, creamy, runny cheese named after the Golden Mountain in the Alps. French Mont D’or is matured for a minimum of 3 weeks, whilst this Swiss version is matured for longer. Through maturing the cheese for 3 weeks, the flavours are subtle and delicate and the paste is runny and spreadable.
Its origin is very old. In the autumn, the herds returned to the stables after spending the summer on the pastures. As the production of milk became less and did not make it possible to make a gruyere wheel, the farmers had the idea of making a small cheese. That’s why Mont d’Or remains a seasonal cheese that is made from August 15 to March 15.
We also sell the baby version of this cheese. It is perfect for baking.
The cheese itself is rich and creamy with its rind adding a delicious tang. It has a sweet flavour with grassy undertones. We like to pair it with a sherry.
