Vacherin Fri-Charco

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.

Cheese preservation

Semi-firm & firm cheese Washed Rinds

To best preserve semi firm to firm cheese with washed rinds, store them in the fridge between 2-4 degrees in the paper provided.

The paper will get malleable every time it is unwrapped but will not lose its efficiency to keep the cheese fresh. It is very normal that a layer of white mold grows on the paste of the cheese, this is the natural process of the rind trying to form.

This mold is not harmful; you may remove a thin slice and keep consuming the cheese. The cheese will keep for 4-5 weeks refrigerated.
