Mont d’Or

Mont d’Or, also known as Vacherin Mont d’Or, is a soft, creamy cheese from the Jura region, made from raw cow’s milk and only available in autumn and winter. The cheese is packaged in a round wooden box and wrapped in a band of spruce bark, which gives it a subtle, resinous note. After aging, the inside becomes wonderfully rich and spoonable, perfect for serving warm, just like fondue. Mont d’Or is a cozy, convivial cheese, made for sharing. A few minutes in the oven, a chunk of bread on the side, and you’re all set.
