Product Description

Bleu du Vercors Sassenage AOC. This traditional mountain cheese was first produced by monks. The recipe soon spread into the surrounding villages. In the 14th century, the Baron de Sassenage allowed his subjects to freely sell the cheese that they had produced. François I and Diderot both had great respect for this mild blue cheese from the plateau of the Vercors Massif in the Rhône-Alps area.

Despite its long history, Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage had to wait until 1998 to finally get the desired AOC seal.

This cheese has a delicate flavour and subtle fruitiness. You will also enjoy it because of his rounded flavour and its mild aroma.

Suggestions: This cheese is suitable for enhancing sauces, as an aperitif. If you found some, try it at the end of a meal with a dark rye loaf.
