Vacherin Mont d'Or is one of the most celebrated seasonal cheeses, available for only a few months each year, typically from mid-October through the winter season. Made using large quantities of milk, this luxurious Mont d'Or cheese is prized for its rich, creamy texture and distinctive nutty flavour, making it a favourite among cheese lovers.
While Vacherin Mont d'Or can be enjoyed straight from the box, it truly comes into its own when served as a baked Vacherin Mont d'Or. If you're wondering how to cook Mont d'Or, the answer couldn't be simpler: bake the cheese until irresistibly soft and gooey, then serve with crusty bread, boiled baby potatoes or seasonal vegetables for dipping. This easy Mont d'Or recipe is guaranteed to impress guests and is the ultimate sharing dish for cosy autumn and winter gatherings. Whether you're making baked Vacherin for the first time or returning to a seasonal favourite, it's a wonderfully indulgent way to enjoy this exceptional cheese.

- Step 1, Preheat the oven to 200C.
- Step 2, Remove any plastic covering from the cheese and wrap the bottom half of the box in foil. Place the cheese on a baking tray.
- Step 3, Make a few slits in the top of the cheese and insert small cloves of garlic and a few small sprigs of rosemary. Rub the top with a little olive oil.
- Step 4, Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the top is starting to colour and the cheese is gooey.
- Step 5, We recommend pairing this sensational dish with a bottle of Les Pierres Partagees Bourgogne Chardonnay 2022. Virgin Wines sommeliers describe it as having a slight creamy texture up front and an underlying minerality with hints of citrus zestiness that provide balance and keep the tight finish long and engaging.
