Meule des Alpes

The Meule des Alpes is a semi-hard cheese made from raw cow's milk in the Alpine regions of France and Switzerland. It is produced using traditional methods, often in high-altitude pastures during the summer season, where cows graze on rich and varied herbs.

This cheese is characterized by its large size and thick, brown rind. Its pale yellow paste is firm and dotted with small holes. On the palate, the Meule des Alpes offers complex and intense flavors, with notes of dried fruits, butter, and sometimes caramel. Its extended aging process creates a slight crystallization that adds a pleasant and crunchy texture.

The Meule des Alpes is perfect enjoyed on its own, sliced thinly, or melted in traditional dishes like fondue or raclette. It also pairs well with dry white wines or light red wines, which complement its delicate flavors and depth.
