Beaumont cheese

Beaumont cheese

Beaumont cheese aka Beaumont de Savoie is a semi-soft, unpasteurised, cows' milk cheese produced in the Savoie region of France. It has a smooth, washed, dark tan rind and weighs about 1750 g. The diameter is around 20 cm and its thickness is about 3-5 cm.

The cheese is factory produced, but nonetheless excellent for that. It is produced by Girod in Beaumont itself.

The cheese is ivory to straw-coloured, with a pleasant barn yard aroma. It has a rich, earthy and full flavour with a smooth, creamy texture. It is very similar to Reblochon cheese.

Unfortunately, the cheese is very difficult to obtain in the UK.
