The mystery of the volcanic mountains

The Grise des Volcans is a fascinating cheese from the rugged, volcanic regions of central France (the Auvergne). This semi-hard to soft cheese is crafted from pure, unpasteurized cow's milk and can be immediately recognized by its striking, grey natural rind. This special ash-colored outer layer not only gives the cheese a robust appearance, but also subtly contributes during maturation to the specific, slightly earthy aroma that makes the cheese so unique.

As soon as you cut the cheese, a beautiful contrast is revealed: under the robust grey rind is a lush, ivory-colored and very supple dairy. Because the milk remains unpasteurized, all authentic meadow nuances are perfectly preserved. The taste is strikingly mild and accessible, melts luxuriously on the tongue and brings out fine, buttery notes with subtle hints of mushrooms and fresh alpine meadow. This makes the Grise des Volcans enormously versatile.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Grise des Volcans

Where does the special grey color of the rind come from?

The characteristic ash-grey hue is created completely naturally by the use of a very thin layer of vegetable ash (often charcoal) or specific mold cultures that grow on the rind during the ripening process. This is an ancient technique that protects the cheese and helps with flavor development.

Can I eat the rind of the Grise des Volcans?

Although natural rinds are edible in some cases, the rind of this cheese can be somewhat tough and strong in flavor. For the best and creamiest taste experience, we recommend cutting the rind away thinly before eating.

How can I best serve this cheese?

This cheese comes into its own best at room temperature. Therefore, remove the cheese from the refrigerator at least 30 to 45 minutes before serving. Serve it with a crispy baguette, fig chutney or crunchy pecans.

Which wine goes well with this French mountain cheese?

Because the Grise des Volcans has a mild, buttery and slightly earthy flavor, it combines beautifully with an elegant, fruity red wine (such as a Pinot Noir or Gamay) or a round, smooth white wine (such as a Chardonnay).

How long can I store the cheese in the refrigerator?

As long as the cheese is unopened in our vacuum packaging, it will remain of perfect quality in the refrigerator for about 3 to 5 weeks. After opening, we recommend wrapping it in breathable cheese paper and consuming it within about 1 to 2 weeks. Also check out our other French cheese.
