Abondance is a pressed cooked, raw cow's milk cheese that has been a Protected Designation of Origin since 1990. Coming from monastic origins, it can only be made in Haute-Savoie and more precisely in the Abondance valley. Its milk with floral and fruity aromas comes from the Abondance breed of cow. This cheese is made using specific techniques and regulations due to its PDO. Molded in a hessian, the cheese curd is placed in a press for one day before being salted and its minimum maturing period is 100 days. The cheese is regularly rubbed with salted water and turned over several times a week. AOP/ PDO Abondance stands out thanks to a fruity taste with notes of hazelnuts, pineapple and citrus.
 
The Abondance flavour profile can change depending on the season of milk collection. Generally, the milk collected from the animals while grazing on mountain pastures can be more fruity (pineapple, apricots), animal, boiled milk and a little nutty with less pungency and propionic acid (eyelets and nutty flavour).

The verdannet family cheese dairy was founded by Ernest Verdannet in 1904. Also known as Fromagerie La Tournette, it is the oldest cheese business in Hautes-Savoie. For five generations, the diary has transmitted its unique know-how while respecting tradition and terrior. It is here that Le Fromage Yard source their Abondance AOP.
