Auvergne, Pasteurised Cow's Milk

This is normally viewed as a simple-style cheese, yet with a little love and care (affinage) it becomes a rich, strong tasting cheese with a velvety texture. The moist, nutty flavour and beautiful melting quality of the cheese also makes it a perfect medium for cooking, crumbling over salads and steaks and vegetable dishes or stuffing into poultry. An extremely versatile cheese, notably simpatico on a cheese board.
