Fromager des Clarines – 200g

A creamy washed-rind cheese from the Jura mountains.

This cheese is similar to Vacherin Mont d'Or in terms of its versatility of being able to serve it at room temperature or baked in the wooden box it arrives in. 

Tasting Notes:

Slightly funky and savoury with a rich, spoonable paste. Notes of forest floor, roasted garlic, and pine resin emerge as it matures. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 mintues before serving to bring out it's flavours and soft texture. If you want to try it baked, wrap the bottom in foil and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the interior is runny. 

Pairing Notes:

If you're going to bake it,  serve with potatoes, pickles, and crusty bread. Pair with white wine from Jura or light reds like Gamay.
