Fourme d'Ambert aux Cassis - Blackcurrant Blue
Fourme d'Ambert, the gentle blue of the Auvergne, given the full attention of the Lorho family. The wheels are spiked regularly so the blackcurrant (cassis) liqueur soaks through to the centre, then left for a long, delicate ripening.
Tasting notes
Melting and creamy with slightly sweet, fruity notes against a mild blue.
