Fourme d'Ambert AOP
Auvergne, France
Mellow, creamy and gently nutty, one of France's mildest and most approachable blues.
The cheese
Fourme d'Ambert is a tall cylinder of cow's milk blue from the mountains of the Auvergne, and one of France's oldest cheeses. A thin natural rind, patched with grey and white moulds, covers a cream-coloured paste with even blue marbling.
Tasting notes
The texture is rich and supple. The blue never dominates, leaving a mellow, subtly nutty flavour.
How to enjoy
A good first blue. Slice it into rounds for a board, or melt it into a sauce for steak or gnocchi. Pair it with a Muscat de Beaumes de Venise or a Côtes du Rhône. Take it out of the fridge an hour before serving.
