Saucisson sec au Beaufort
Is this saucisson made with real pieces of Beaufort?
Yes: the Beaufort saucisson is made with real pieces of Beaufort, bringing milky, fruity notes that are a pleasant surprise. You will see the pieces of Beaufort appear as you slice it.
Some slices have no Beaufort in them — is that normal?
Yes, entirely normal. The Beaufort is added in pieces to the mix and then spreads naturally, unevenly, through the saucisson: from one slice to the next you will therefore find sometimes more, sometimes less cheese. That is the signature of artisan making, with no standardised distribution — and the taste of the Beaufort runs right through the saucisson
Is Beaufort a mountain cheese?
Yes, Beaufort is one of the great cheeses of Savoie; it gives the saucisson its characteristic milky, fruity notes.
