Fromager des Clarines 200g

The Closest You'll Get to Vacherin Mont d'Or in Australia

True Mont d'Or cheese, the legendary raw milk cheese from the Jura mountains, cannot be imported into Australia due to biosecurity restrictions on unpasteurised dairy. The Fromager des Clarines is the finest pasteurised alternative available: a washed-rind, soft-ripened cheese from Franche-Comté made by Maître Fromager Jean Perrin, sharing the same spoonable texture, forest-floor aroma, and deeply savoury character that makes Mont d'Or so revered.

How to serve Fromager des Clarines?

Serve at room temperature straight from the box; the rind acts as a natural vessel. For a classic baked preparation, remove the lid, score the top, add a splash of white wine and a clove of garlic, and bake at 180°C for 15 to 20 minutes until molten. Spoon it over steamed potatoes, serve alongside our Saucisson Sec (Aged French Style Salami) and cornichons, and open a good Pinot Noir or a Jura Savagnin.

Tasting Notes

Creamy and spoonable with a supple washed rind. Flavours of warm milk, forest floor, and a gentle resinous finish. Rich without being heavy.
