A fine and elegant blue cow’s milk cheese — more aromatic than strong.
The origins of Fourme de Montbrison, a raw cow’s milk blue cheese, go back as far as the 9th century. In fact, the carved stone frontispiece of a chapel from that time shows what appears to be a wheel of cheese — a testament to its long-standing tradition.
Originally produced in jasseries, traditional summer dwellings in the mountains, this cheese is deeply rooted in its region. Ours is made using artisanal methods, with the aging process beginning in the caves of the Chalmazel massif — a picturesque area with a unique and thriving ecosystem. Dense and subtle, this blue cow’s milk cheese is distinctly different from its better-known cousin, Fourme d’Ambert.
