Beaufort AOP
Prestigious Alpine cheese from the high pastures of the French Alps, often called the "Prince of Gruyères" for its exceptional quality and complex flavour profile. This hard, cooked cheese is made exclusively from raw cow's milk in the Tarentaise and Beaufortain valleys, where Tarine and Abondance cattle graze on mountain pastures above 1,500 metres. The result is a smooth, ivory-coloured cheese with a natural brushed rind and dense, supple texture.
Beaufort develops rich, fruity flavours with notes of hazelnuts and fresh mountain herbs that reflect the diverse alpine flora the cattle consume. The cheese ages for a minimum of five months, with the finest wheels maturing for over a year to develop deeper complexity. Traditional production methods using copper vats and wooden hoops create the distinctive concave heel that identifies authentic Beaufort.
Perfect for melting in traditional Alpine dishes like fondue and tartiflette, or enjoyed on its own with crusty bread and mountain wine. The smooth texture makes it excellent for cooking, while its complex flavours shine when served at room temperature.
Origin: Tarentaise and Beaufortain valleys, French Alps
Allergens: Milk (cow's, unpasteurised)
