Saint Nectaire Cheese
When you stay at the Anorak chalet, you have the chance to enjoy this Auvergne cheese tradition by tasting these exceptional cheeses. Let's start with Saint Nectaire, which is an uncooked pressed cheese, made from cow's milk. It has a natural, slightly orange crust and a paste that is both creamy and tender. Its delicately nutty taste makes it a real pleasure for cheese lovers.
Auvergne Blue Cheese
Auvergne blue is another jewel of the region. This blue-veined cheese is produced from cow's milk, and is distinguished by its blue-green veins which give it its characteristic flavor. It has a powerful and slightly salty taste, which goes wonderfully with fruit or a glass of red wine.
Cantal, Auvergne cheese
Cantal is a cooked pressed cheese, made from cow's milk. It is available in three maturations: young Cantal, old Cantal and Cantal in between. Each has specific characteristics, but all offer a firm texture and a clean, flavorful taste. Whether tasting on a cheese board or adding it to your dishes, Cantal is an essential choice for cheese lovers.
Fourme d’Ambert, Auvergne cheese
Finally, Fourme d'Ambert is a blue-veined cheese, similar to Bleu d'Auvergne, but with a softer texture and a more delicate flavor. It is made from cow's milk and has been produced in the Ambert region for centuries. Its subtle and slightly sweet taste makes it a perfect addition to a salad or a cheese tasting.
