Mont d’Or is a seasonal cheese that is a must try for cheese enthusiast. We promise you'll be back for more!
In autumn and winter, cows that usually graze on hilltops of the Jura Mountains return to the valley. Their milk - typically used for Gruyere (Swiss side) and Comte (French side) - is then used to make these smaller wheels of Mont d’Or. Each cheese is wrapped in locally harvested spruce bark, adding a subtle woody note.
When ripe, Mont d’Or is creamy and spreadable. It is traditionally baked and enjoyed like a fondue, pairing wonderfully with potatoes, pickles, and other accompaniments.
