Vacherin Mont d'Or
Seasonal not currently available
The making of the Vacherin du Mont d'Or goes back to when the borders between countries were less defined and this had, until recently, led to arguments between France and Switzerland as to who had first made the cheese and who had rights over the cheese. Recently, an agreement was reached and the French will soon call their cheese Vacherin du Haut Doubs whilst the Swiss cheese will be known as Vacherin du Mont d'Or. Although these problems have been officially resolved, confusion still exists with the cheese still being referred to as simply Vacherin, or Mont d'Or or Vacherin Mont d'Or.
Vacherin Mont d'Or cheese is shaped in cloth-lined moulds then encircled with a strip of spruce bark a...
