Salers

Salers is a soft farm cheese made from cow's full-fat milk, the final product weighs 35 to 50 kilograms and has been produced in the French region of Cantal since the High Middle Ages. It's made immediately after milking and then matured for at least three months.

Its rind is hard and brown and becomes even harder and crustier as it matures. The interior of Salers is rich yellow in color, with fruity aromas and the taste is nutty, spicy and intense, reminiscent of raw onions, wild flowers, and freshly cut grass.

Do not confuse it with Cantal cheese, as Salers must be made only from the milk of cows that graze the mountain pastures in the summer. Enjoy it paired with a glass of well-rounded white or red wine.
