Cheese Type: Unpressed, Uncooked soft cheese with a washed rind

Mont d’Or is a seasonal cheese exclusively sold between 10 September and 10 May

Mont d’Or is produced in the Jura region of France and is named after the highest peak in the Jura mountains.

Mont d’Or is slightly washed which gives it a light yellow to salmon orange crust colour. With its creamy, almost runny texture comes buttery and woody notes.

If you want to bake it, make a cross with your knife to cut the rind and plant a garlic glove cut in half (it helps to infuse the flavours in the cheese – we promise!) in its centre before adding a dash of dry white wine. Put the Mont d’Or in its box in the oven at 180° for 10 to 15 minutes. When you start seeing some bubbles on the top of the cheese, it is ready! Enjoy your meal with potatoes, salad, pickles, and cold cuts. Amazing!

Store in the refrigerator, in its original box, and consume within a few days.
