Vacherin Mont d’Or cheese

Vacherin Mont d’Or aka Vacherin du Haut-Doubs is an AOP cows' milk (French vache, "cow") cheese.

It is a soft, rich, seasonal cheese and is contained in a greyish-yellow blanched rind. Made in Switzerland or France, usually in villages of the Jura region (an origin that has been officially controlled since 1981), it typically contains 45 to 50 percent milk fat.

The cheese is marketed in a round wooden cheese-box and can be served warmed in its original packaging and eaten like a fondue.
