The cylindrically-shaped Fourme d`Ambert is an AOC protected blue cheese that ranks as one of the oldest in France. The cylinder should be sliced in order to allow a round slice. Its texture is compact and fudgy, like a Stilton. Its flavor is mild and creamy, with even bluing.
Bucheron has an ivory-colored paste surrounded by a bloomy white rind. It is chalky and dense on the interior, and has a thin layer of creamy cheese just below the rind. The flavor is mildly goaty when it is young, and develops a sharper and more goaty flavor as it ages. Bucheron means “logger” in French.
Port Salut is a creamy, mellow semi-soft cow’s milk cheese with a bright orange rind and a mild, sweet flavor. Originally created by Trappist monks in Western France during the French Revolution, the cheese was a means of survival. When they returned to France, they continued to make their new style of cheese. Unlike many other French cheeses, Port Salut is rather mild and sweet in flavor. Its light yellow paste is smooth and velvety with a touch of tanginess. Port Salut may be served at room temperature as a table cheese, but it also melts well for cooking.
Fromager d`Affinois is made by ultra-filtration, a relatively modern process that claims a very high percentage of nutrients and butterfat from the milk during the making of the cheese. This ultra-filtration gives the cheese a silky/satin texture that many consumers really like. In addition, the cheese has a clean, rich, and creamy taste. This crowd pleaser is a great seller.
4# Square cheese that is a soft washed-rind cheese with a bigger more intense flavor than a Camembert.
