Forme d’Ambert
Known as the “connoisseur’s blue cheese”. This ancient blue cheese from the Auvergne was being made long before English
Stilton, which it somewhat resembles, was even thought of. The cheese has a deep cylindrical shape about twice as high as it is wide. The paste is creamy coloured with a smooth even marbling, which doesn’t dominate the flavour. The texture is rich and mellow with a nutty subtle flavour making it a perfect partner for fine wines as the taste is not overly aggressive. It has an interesting aroma of roasted nuts and a fruity flavour. A great blue cheese.
