• COW

• UNPASTEURISED

• 500g

All Vacherin is produced from mid August to mid FEBRUARY, made with the winter milk from the same cow’s that produce COMTÉ in the summer months. Sancey’s IS one of the smallest of ten producers (ACCOUNTING FOR 2% OF THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION) in the region and the only ones who pre-ripen their milk to encourage acidity. This gives their cheeses much better structure and breadth of flavour. Vacherin are wrapped in spruce for it’s lovely resin influence, it creates a beautiful relationship between the crème fraiche brightness in their paste and the nutty, hammy smoky, savoury pine-scented richness at their rinds.
