Montbriac

I have a new favourite cheese – Montbriac is a cows milk cheese, with a slight blue vein running through it. But it is very mild and creamy, unlike some other blue cheeses. I understand it’s from the Auvergne region of France, which is just south of here and somewhere I’d like to visit. It’s quite a lush area, hence great for cows, and cheese. It also has some superb walking routes.

I’d come across the cheese at our local market. Whilst I was queuing at the cheese stall, two of the three people in front of me bought a piece, so I assumed it must be good. I also bought some Brie au Poivre, and Tomme. Altogether a very nice cheese board.
