#74 Fourme D'Ambert

Ancient is the common description for this cheese, made since Druids and Romans walked around Gaul, drinking magic potions, eating wild boar and wondering where to get their next fix of fromage.

Fourme D'Ambert is made in Auvergne, from cows' milk and this particular variety, I am informed, was aged in a tunnel, not a cave.

The cheese is aged for a couple of months. Its a pretty mild flavoured blue with a buttery colour and lots of blue deposits.




Is cheese is good
