Fourme d'Ambert

Pronounced dom-BEHR

Fourme d'Ambert is a rich and creamy cow milk blue cheese from the Auvergne region of France.  It has a thin, yellowish rind mottled with sandy molds. Its interior is bone white with distinctive bluing. Although its scent is very earthy, Fourme d'Ambert has a creamy, mild flavor with a slight nutty finish. The paste is both soft and smooth. Try this cheese with sweet Sauternes as a dessert course or as a light meal accompanying a salad and slice of crusty bread. Please note: Because our cheeses are cut by hand exact weights may vary slightly.

Each cheese comes with a fromager note (describing the cheese with beverage pairing suggestions) and a cheese serving tag identifying its name, origin and milk type.
