Vacherin Fribourgeois AOP Rustic Frisé
$25.20 - $126.00
Description
A distinctive expression of one of Switzerland's great cheeses, Vacherin Fribourgeois AOP Rustic Frisé is crafted by Fromagerie Moléson in the Canton of Fribourg, at the foothills of the Swiss Pre-Alps.
After 16 weeks of careful maturation, only the best wheels are selected for a special period of affinage. This additional cellar care creates the cheese's characteristic pleated or "frisé" rind while encouraging the paste beneath to become exceptionally creamy and supple.
Rich and full of character, Rustic Frisé balances the gentle tang typical of Vacherin Fribourgeois with a deeper, more robust savouriness and wonderfully creamy finish. It's an expressive cheese without becoming overpowering, with the special maturation bringing remarkable depth and texture.
Country of origin: Switzerland
Region, town: Orsonnens, Canton of Fribourg
Source of milk: Thermised cow's milk
Texture: Semi-hard with an exceptionally creamy, supple paste and distinctive pleated rind
Flavour: Rich and robust with a gentle tang, savoury depth and a long, creamy finish

Serving suggestion: Bring to room temperature before serving with crusty bread, cornichons and charcuterie. Its wonderfully creamy texture also makes it exceptional melted over potatoes or incorporated into a rich Alpine-style fondue.
