Beaufort, born in the Middle Ages, was initially created to keep the milk longer and ensure a source of protein all year long, for family consumption. Beaufort AOP can be found in 3 versions: Winter, Summer and Chalet d’Alpage (the latter two being often regarded as the tastiest). Our Summer Beaufort was produced between May 2022 and October 2022 and is full of the characteristic floral notes of this season.

Beaufort has a hard, natural rind with a pale-yellow paste that is firm and smooth. Creamy, nutty, and buttery, Beaufort is a melting pleasure on the palate.

Beaufort is commonly eaten on its own or used in cooking, such as in gratins or fondues. Find here a delicious of Leek Gratin with Lemon Bechamel and Beaufort Cheese !
