Vacherin is a highly seasonal cheese, available for just a few months of the year - generally from mid-October for the best examples, although the exact timing varies. It takes a lot of milk to make just one Vacherin, resulting in a rich, creamy texture and nutty flavour. 

Although it can be enjoyed straight from the box Vacherin Mont d’Or is also fantastic baked until gooey, perfect for dipping into with pieces of bread or boiled small potatoes. This is an incredibly simple recipe that’s guaranteed to impress.
