Product details & serving guidance
Fourme D'Ambert AOP, Third of a Pound
Fourme d'Ambert is made in Auvergne from pasteurized cow's milk, each truckle shaped wheel formed from unpressed curds and inoculated with a gentler blue mold than the one in Roquefort. The result is a velvety, sweet cream blue with an earthy, mushroomy roundness.
Pasteurized cow's milk — from Auvergne, in the French Massif Central
A milder blue — less spicy than Roquefort, so the cream comes through
Unpressed curds — which keep the paste soft and velvety
Sweet cream and mushrooms — earthy and rounded rather than sharp
Hand selected wheels — chosen from the cheese maker one by one
How to enjoy Add Tawny port and fresh pears and you have dessert without turning the oven on. It also melts into a cream sauce for steak, or crumbles over bitter greens with walnuts.
The blue for people who think they do not like blue, and a persuasive argument at that.
