FRENCH BLUE
FOURME D'AMBERT

Fourme d'Ambert, one of France’s oldest cheeses, dates back to Roman times—nearly 2,000 years ago! Hailing from the Auvergne region, this cheese has stood the test of time and continues to captivate cheese lovers around the world.

 

Creamy, smooth, and perfectly balanced in flavor, Fourme d'Ambert features a buttery, supple texture that complements its distinct, spicy blue mold. Its cylindrical shape, narrow and unique, further sets it apart from other blue cheeses.

 

For a delightful treat, look out for the second '2' in your advent calendar, which reveals a mini jar of honey or jam—an ideal pairing for blue cheeses like Fourme d'Ambert. Spread the cheese on a crisp cracker or fresh baguette, then drizzle the honey or add a dollop of jam. The combination of salty and sweet creates a truly sensational flavor experience. This is, without a doubt, our favorite way to enjoy blue cheese—one bite is never enough. Enjoy Day 2!
