» Beaufort «
This remarkable cheese was already known in the time of the Romans. It takes about 500 liters (130 gallons) of milk to make a Beaufort of 40 - 45 kg. The cheese is made from the milk given by the mahogany-colored Beaufort cows, called the Tarines or Tarentaises. This ancient mountain breed originally came from the Indo-Asian continent. Beaufort cheeses come in two versions, Beaufort d’été (summer Beaufort) and Beaufort chalet d’alpage which is made in the mountain chalets.
