Vacherin Fribourgeois AOP
Fribourg, Switzerland
Supple, lively and nutty, a Swiss washed-rind cheese and one half of the classic fondue.
The cheese
Vacherin Fribourgeois is made from raw cow's milk in the Swiss canton of Fribourg. This one uses summer milk, from herds grazing Alpine pastures full of grass and wild flowers, and is matured for 12 to 25 weeks in the caves of La Tzintre in Charmey, where the washed rind is tended by hand.
Tasting notes
The paste is supple and creamy. The flavour is lively, nutty and floral, growing fuller and more savoury in wheels made late in the summer.
How to enjoy
Mix it half and half with Gruyère for a moitié-moitié fondue, or melt it over potatoes. On a board, pair it with a Swiss Chasselas or a Petite Arvine. Take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving.
