Jurassic - Raw Milk Cheese from Pontarlier
Made from raw milk at a fruitière (village cheese dairy) in the hills around Pontarlier, in the French Jura. An original recipe uses a whey-based fermentation culture, which gives it its characteristic animal notes.
Tasting notes
Ripened for at least 8 months, it has a creamy paste and a pleasant hazelnut flavour. A cheese that suits any meal, from breakfast to dinner.
