Description Chimay A la bière
Taste the true abbey tradition with the flavorful Chimay A la bière. This extraordinary semi-hard Trappist cheese is traditionally prepared in the Belgian abbey of Scourmont. What makes this cheese so unique is the natural rind, which is washed several times during ripening with authentic Chimay beer. This gives the cheese not only a beautiful golden rind, but also an unparalleled creamy dairy with subtle aromas of malt and hops.

A Masterpiece of Cheese and Beer
Cheese has been produced in the Abbey of Scourmont since 1876. The combination of the lush cow's milk from the region and the washing with locally brewed Chimay Trappist beer makes this cheese an iconic product. The flavors of the hoppy, malty beer slowly soak into the creamy cheese, resulting in a perfect, soft harmony without the alcohol dominating.
With its excellent melting properties and delicious flavor profile, the Chimay A la bière is very versatile. It shines on any cheese board as an absolute eye-catcher. Serve the cheese preferably together with a cold glass of Chimay beer, or use it in a hot meal such as a luxury grilled cheese sandwich, cheese fondue or over a potato gratin. A must-have for gourmets!
