About Beaufort cheese

Beaufort is a firm French cheese made from cow's milk in the Savoie region of the Alps. It is used at the table and in cooked preparations where a cheese that melts is suitable. Its production is associated with defined regional traditions, while ageing and individual wheels produce variation.

The cheese has a smooth, dense paste, typically pale yellow, and a firm texture that can become supple when warmed. Its flavour is savoury, milky and sometimes nutty, with intensity increasing during ageing. It is sold in wheels or cut wedges; young and older Beaufort differ in moisture, texture and flavour.
