Beaufort Alpage - Herve Mons

From Meilleur Ouvrier de France Affineur-Fromager comes this outstanding Beaufort Alpage (above 1500m). Matured to perfection, the aroma is fruity and rich. the taste is full without being strong.

Beaufort is produce in Savoie from a mix of Tarine and Abondance cattle. it takes 10 kilos of milk to produce 1kg of Beaufort. the cheeses are matured for a minimum of 5months in caves but can be stored up to 12 months. the Affineur will then bring the cheese on further to his preference.


Regarded as a Gruyere style, Beaufort was awarded an A.O.C. in 1968. Production is around 110,000 wheels (40kg)per year.
