Fat 48+, unpasteurized cow's milk, rennet, salt
The pride of the French Alps
The Beaufort AOP is called the 'Prince of Gruyères' for good reason. This impressive cheese comes from the mountain region of the same name in the French Savoie. Only milk from Tarine and Abondance cows may be used, and these cows graze high in the alpine meadows full of flowers and herbs during the summer. This diet provides a raw, unpasteurized milk of exceptional quality. The result is a firm cheese without holes with a smooth texture.
The taste of Beaufort is complex and rich: you taste fruity notes, alpine flowers and a delicious nutty aftertaste. Beaufort is not only fantastic to eat on its own or to serve on a luxurious cheese board, but it is also one of the absolute stars in an authentic French cheese fondue (together with Comté and Emmentaler).
Freshly cut from the knife for the best quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this beautiful AOP cheese with the greatest respect. We only cut your piece of Beaufort fresh from the mighty cheese wheels the moment you order. Immediately afterwards, your cheese is packed tightly and airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the delicate raw milk structure, we always ship your order with a cooling pack. This way you are assured of absolute top quality at your home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Beaufort AOP
Is Beaufort made from raw milk?
Yes, Beaufort AOP is exclusively made from unpasteurized (raw) cow's milk. This ensures that all complex and natural alpine aromas are perfectly preserved in the cheese.
Can pregnant women eat Beaufort?
Because Beaufort is a raw milk cheese (au lait cru), it is not recommended for pregnant women to eat this cheese cold. However, when you heat the cheese (such as in a fondue or casserole) above 70 degrees Celsius, it is safe to consume.
Does this cheese melt well?
Yes, certainly! Beaufort is one of the best melting cheeses in the world and often forms the indispensable basis for a classic French cheese fondue (Fondue Savoyarde).
