Beaufort Alpage
Beaufort is made with the milk of cows raised in the high pastures of the Savoie
stretching over the Beaufortain, Tarentaise, Maurienne, and part of the
Val d'Arly regions. It owes its creamy fruity character to the milk of herds
grazing on these high Alps pastures. Cellar aged for 18 months, these
cheese develops a deep richness and concentration
of flavors. The wheels are turned regularly to allow its natural reddish
brown rind to develop. Dense and buttery with a nutty finish which is
balanced by a slight sweetness, Beaufort is sometimes referred to as the "Prince
of Gruyeres."
