Tasting Notes:

Produced in the Savoie region of France, this soft, creamy cheese is wrapped in spruce bark to contain the oozy texture of the cheese. The bark can be cut through or slowly pealed off but a very traditional way to eat it would be to trim a bit of the top off and dig in with a spoon and scoop it out.  The spruce gives the cheese woodsy, earthy taste and aroma. Not a very strong flavour, but when it's ripe it has character. 

Sold in approx. 300g wheels.
