Beaufort cheese is a French cheese that comes from the Savoie region in the French Alps. It is traditionally made from cow's milk and is known for its distinct taste and smooth, creamy texture. Beaufort has been granted AOC status and is named after the Beaufort Valley, which is one of the main valleys in the Savoie region.

Beaufort has a rich, complex flavour that is often described as nutty, fruity, and slightly sweet. The taste can vary depending on factors such as the season and the diet of the cows. Beaufort is aged for a minimum of four months, and it becomes firmer as it ages. It is a semi-firm to hard cheese with a natural rind.

Beaufort is a versatile cheese that melts well, making it suitable for dishes like fondue or gratins and traditional Alpine dishes.
