Beaufort Cheese
Prince of the Gruyeres" is what the French gastronome and writer Brillat-Savarin called Beaufort in the 19th century. The birthplace of this large, round, hard cheese is the French Alps, where it is produced exclusively from raw milk. The rind is moist with a slightly concave surface. Beaufort has a rich, creamy taste with subtle flavours of fruit, and a moist rind.

12 liters of milk are needed to make 1kg of Beaufort, which means that each round of Beaufort is the equivalent of the daily production of 25 head of cattle. It is easy to understand that the Beaufort is a community cheese, as it unites the cheese of various herds.
The Beaufort is pale and white when made in the winter and pale yellow when made in the summer. It is said that the chlorophyll from the grass and the carotene from the alpine flowers gives this cheese its colour and flavour.
This cheese is eaten all throughout the meal, on toast, in tarts, in gratins, or in fondues.
