Hard & aged Cow’s milk

Beaufort

also called The prince of gruyères

Alpine summer milk, pressed in a beech hoop that gives it its waist.

Drawn by the app from this cheese’s own record — paste, rind and texture come from the data, not a stock library.

Made only from Tarine and Abondance milk, hooped in a beech-wood band (the *cercle à Beaufort*) that leaves the wheel with its distinctive concave sides. *Beaufort d'alpage* is made in the high summer pastures, from one herd, and is the best of it.

No eyes, a very smooth dense paste, and a flavour that runs from milky and floral to deeply fruity and nutty. It is the fondue cheese that makes people rethink fondue.
