Weight: 300
Cheese Type: Uncooked, Pressed
In the quiet confines of a Burgundian monastery, where monks have followed the Rule of St. Benedict for over nine centuries, a cheese of remarkable purity is crafted by hand – Abbaye de Cîteaux, a treasure that carries the soul of its origins in every bite. Made exclusively from the raw milk of Montbéliarde cows that graze the abbey’s lush meadows, this semi-soft, washed-rind cheese is produced in vanishingly small quantities: just three hundred wheels each week, most sold directly at the monastery gate.
Beneath its striking orange-pink rind lies a dense, supple paste of ivory white, offering an aroma that is boldly earthy yet inviting, while the flavor unfolds in layers of clean, milky richness balanced by a gentle acidity and a subtle, lingering finish. This is not merely a cheese—it is a taste of monastic tradition, a testament to patience and craftsmanship in a world of haste.
Serve it at room temperature with a light Burgundy red or a crusty baguette, and savor one of France’s most authentic and sought-after fromages.
