Fourme d'Ambert
Our Fourme d'Ambert AOP is a farmhouse cheese, which means it is made by the producer on the farm.
And it's at the end of the production process of our farmers that we bring our Master Affineur expertise: when the Fourme d'Ambert arrives in our caves, we continue the aging process for 4 to 8 weeks in a cold environment (4°C), this cold aging process allows us to enhance its creaminess and intensify its taste.
It is a mild and creamy cheese, with a slightly granular texture that easily melts in the mouth. Its taste is intense and harmonious, with woody and slightly spicy flavors and a hint of sweet milkiness.
