Fourme d’Ambert AOC

What’s it like? Fourme d’Ambert cheese is a heavyweight French blue cheese with a supremely creamy texture with large rich blue cavities.

Where’s it from? This AOC version is made from raw cow’s milk from the Auvergne region of France

Packaging: Fourme d’Ambert cheese comes as a circular slice of 185g.

Beer Pairing

Kaleidoscope Pale Ale from Wiper and True is gentle and easy-going with a light finish. It has a mosaic hop base which gives it an earthy complexity and piney aroma. We tried this incredibly refreshing drink with blue cheeses for their deep, salty flavours. Fourme D’Ambert is the perfect pairing. As blues go, this is gentler, not too overpowering for the lightness of the Kaleidoscope flavours and yet still offers that creamy, indulgent hit.

Recipes
