Mont d'Or is a seasonal cheese from the Jura Mountains. It's produced only in the colder months between August and March. The cows graze on the rich pastures of the Jura region, and their milk is transformed into cheese that's then matured inside spruce wood boxes. This unique process gives the French cheese its distinctive creamy texture and a slight hint of flavor from the wood. It's an artisanal cheese, bound by AOC regulations, ensuring each piece is a masterpiece of dairy craftsmanship.
When people eat Mont d’Or the traditional way, it's all about keeping it cozy and communal. The cheese gets a quick trim on the top and a splash of white wine is added. Then, you warm it up until it's all gooey and irresistible. You dip crusty bread or boiled potatoes. It's like a super easy French fondue party.
