Fourme d'Ambert AOC
Originating from the Auvergne region, Fourme d'Ambert (simply Ambert) stands as one of France's oldest cheeses, tracing its roots back to nearly 1,000 years ago during the Roman occupation. The cheese received AOC status in 2002. It cheese distinguishes itself with a texture that is more supple and dense compared to most blue cheeses. Its interior boasts a cream-coloured paste with prominent blue veins. A slightly tangy and savoury profile, enhanced by the presence of bacteria, beautifully complements the hints of butter and cream.
For aficionados of wine, Fourme d'Ambert pairs well with Sauternes and other dessert wines, Pinot Noirs, and Syrah.
