This cheese is made in the north part of Auvergne, in the mountainous area of Mont-Dore, a popular Skiing area. Traditionally the cheese is aged on rye straw and occasionally brine washed, which contributes to its Characteristic aroma of an old, humid cellar. The rind may show many colorful molds (white, yellow and red), a result of the Wild grasses that the Salers cows eat during summer and autumn. The texture is semi-soft often with small eyes in the paste. The flavor is a wonderful combination of a summer pasture and sweet, fruity milk flavors. Product Metrics:
