Vacherin

A semi-firm cheese with a washed rind, it has a sweet, fruity, lactic aroma, with a flavor of hazelnuts and salted butter.

Its name is a nod to the original Swiss Vacherin, but ours is made with pasteurized milk, giving it a milder taste.

This is one of the two cheeses we recommend for Swiss fondue; the other is Miranda.

  • “Great cheese”

    “This cute little fromagerie has great cheese and condiments. We enjoyed sampling a few of the cheeses and purchased our favorites along with crackers, coffee, and a few sweets. The coffee is made using Nespresso pods and the selection of cold beverages includes juice, soda water, and standard cold drinks. There are a couple of small tables to sit inside and enjoy the atmosphere! ”

  • “This place is amazing”

    “This place is amazing.

    The beer cheese is my favorite, and the brie was solid. Others in the group liked their swisslike cheese and softer one with some vegetable ash that was a bit ripe for my taste. Being direct to customers it’s around the same price as super market cheese and WAY better. Worth going out of your way on the way back from MTL if you’re in upstate NY.

    The olive bread in stock is really well done and even the sparkling juice was really tasty. We got an apple blend (grapefruit I’m tempted to say?) and it was a delicious treat for the ride back. ”
