Fourme d’Ambert is a traditional French blue cheese known since the Middle Ages and considered one of the lightest blue‑veined cheeses in France.
According to legend, during the Gallo‑Roman period, druids used this cheese to celebrate their cult on the top of the Massif du Forez. Later, it was even used as a form of exchange currency to rent the “jasseries”, the small mountain shacks used as shelters by animals and humans alike, where this cheese was made in summertime.
Produced in Auvergne with cow’s milk, it has a creamy, supple texture with an ivory paste streaked with blue veins, offering delicate buttery flavours and herbaceous notes. Match Fourme d’Ambert with jammed or fresh yellow fruits to create the perfect pairing.

LCF –
Amazing value, so buttery and subtle (as blue cheeses go).
Maria Tse –
Fourme d’Ambert has exceeded my expectations. Very smooth and tangy with elegant after taste. It reminds of st agur but not as salty and cost a lot less too. Will definitely repurchase and keep stock in my fridge at all times
Nicolas Guyon –
The rich, creamy texture and subtle tang of this blue cheese are absolutely divine. I love the way the flavors unfold on the palate, with notes of earthy mushroom and a hint of sweetness.
Ziyang Guo –
