Tasting Notes:

Beaufort showcases the magic, tradition, and excellence of cheese. It highlights how humans have adapted to the harsh environment of the French Alps, working in unison with nature's seasons. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the Savoie-Beaufortain region saw a widespread removal of woodlands to create mountain pastures. These pastures are natural and bountiful, filled with a variety of wild herbs, meadow flowers, and grasses for the native Abondance and Tarine cows to graze on in the summer and feed on in the winter. The resulting milk is rich, nutty, fragrant, and sophisticated.

Our cheese mongers hand cut every cheese to order. We will always try to cut the exact weight ordered, however your piece might be slightly over or under the amount listed. But please know that we cut it freshly and specifically for you.

If you order several cheeses, we will usually make up for shortcomings on weight, if any, on the other cheeses ordered.

All cheeses are wrapped in special cheese paper and sealed to preserve freshness during transit.

Every order includes all the necessary thermal packaging and ice packs required for current weather conditions. Our main focus is getting the freshest product delivered to your door.
