Abondance
A high mountain cheese with a creamy rich texture, and a melting fruity flavour. Abondance cheese is medium hard, has a strong smell and a distinct and complex flavor; fruity and with hints of hazelnut. The paste is soft and fluid with an ivory to pale yellow color and has small holes, similar in taste to Comte or
Beaufort. It needs 60 to 70 litres of milk to make a wheel of Abondance, which is an excellent example of a great French artisanal cheese that dates back almost 700 years. Abondance can be cut in half and placed in front of an open fire to melt like a hot avalanche over potatoes. Also a worthy addition to your French gourmet cheese palate, try some soon.
