About Port salut cheese
Port Salut is a French semi-soft cow’s-milk cheese, traditionally associated with a washed rind. It is eaten on its own, served with bread or used in cooking where a mild, readily melting cheese is suitable. Commercial versions may not share every feature of traditionally made cheese.
The cheese is usually pale yellow with a smooth, supple interior and an orange rind; its flavour is mild, creamy and slightly tangy. It is sold as wheels, wedges or pre-cut portions. Rind treatment, ripeness and manufacturing differences influence texture and flavour, so forms should not be assumed identical.
