Beaufort Cheese

By Glenn

The Savory region of France is world renowned for its “savory” cheese.  The mountainous  landscape provided few opportunities for cereal production but was ideal for dairy farming.

In Chamonix I bought a Beaufort (€ 17.75) at a local grocery store and used it to make a white wine cheese sauce.  It served as a side for pork chops and peas one night as well as sausages, zucchini and tomatoes another.  Later in the week I added slices of it to sandwiches.
