This incomparable cheese entices your taste buds with its peaks of flavor, earning a coveted Recognized Protected Designation of Origin since 1968, stemming from a longstanding pastoral tradition.
It takes its name from the Beaufort Valley, and is crafted into a 40kg cylindrical wheel, 60 cm in diameter and 11-16 cm thick, boasting a yellow-brown rind and a smooth, firm and melting ivory-yellow paste.
The alpine flora creates a unique taste to tantalize the palate, aged for at least 5 months, and up to more than a year!
A cheese with a 19th century name, but centuries-old tradition in rare fauna, crafted with Tarentaise (or Tarine) and Abondance cow milk - earning itself the title of “Prince of Gruyères”!
