Chaource Fermier Cheese, Cows Milk, 500g

Chaource Fermier Cheese is 500g of Chaource Fermier AOP from the Champagne region, a farmhouse cow’s milk soft cheese that is mild, creamy and gently acidic. Chaource Fermier cheese is the most approachable French soft cheese. As a result, the mild character and clean flavour suit those who want soft French cheese without the intensity of washed-rind varieties. Furthermore, Champagne is the natural pairing given the regional origin. In particular, the fermier designation guarantees single-herd farmhouse production.

About Chaource Fermier Cheese

We source French soft cheese from specialist affineurs and fermier producers across Normandy, Burgundy, Savoie and the Rhône-Alpes. In particular, fermier production means the cheese is made on the farm with a single herd. As a result, a Camembert de Normandie fermier is a fundamentally different product from a supermarket version. Furthermore, the great washed-rind cheeses of France — Epoisses, Munster, Langres and Livarot — have a pungency and depth no other cheese style matches. However, soft cheeses are at their best at room temperature — allow 45 to 60 minutes out of the fridge before serving. In particular, AOP and DOP certification guarantees genuine French origin. Additionally, every cheese here benefits from the finest bread and a complementary wine. That commitment to fermier quality defines every soft French cheese we offer. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cheese lovers.

Why Choose Chaource Fermier Cheese From Us

Using French soft and washed-rind cheese well requires one essential habit: patience. In contrast to serving straight from the fridge, soft cheese at room temperature has an entirely different flavour and texture. As a result, always remove soft cheese at least 45 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Furthermore, a ripe Brie or Camembert should wobble and feel almost liquid at the centre. However, washed-rind cheeses smell considerably stronger than they taste — the aroma is a poor guide to the flavour. In particular, the Langres crater is designed to receive Champagne or Burgundy at the table. Moreover, baking Vacherin, Camembert or St Marcellin at 180°C creates a molten experience. Additionally, always serve on a board with good bread — nothing else is needed. That room temperature patience and good bread define how to serve these magnificent cheeses.

How to Serve Chaource Fermier Cheese

To get the very best from it:

• Serve at full room temperature — remove from the fridge 1 hour before serving.
• Slice and serve on a board with good baguette or sourdough alongside.
• Furthermore, bake whole in a small dish at 180°C for 15 minutes until molten at the centre.
• Additionally, serve with good fruit jam, grapes or sliced apple alongside.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• Good baguette or sourdough — the essential French soft cheese pairing.
• Apple, grapes or a good fruit compote alongside.
• Champagne, Crémant or a good white Burgundy alongside.
• Good fruit chutney or fig jam for complementary sweetness.

Storage: Keep refrigerated. Furthermore, consume within 5 to 7 days, checking the use-by date. However, always remove from the fridge 45 to 60 minutes before serving. Soft cheese is at its best at full room temperature.

However you serve it, Chaource Fermier Cheese brings a character that only genuine artisan cheese can deliver. Moreover, great cheese always rewards good bread, the right wine and serving at room temperature.
