Fromagerie Bel Port Salut Cheese 150g

Fromagerie Bel Port Salut Cheese

In 1815, Trappist monks returned to North Eastern France after the Napoleonic wars and rebuilt the old Entrammes abbey on the river Mayenne. The abbey was named Port du Salut or Port of Safety.

The traditional Trappist cheese made there became fashionable in Paris in the 1880s and the cheese sellers cry “C’est arrivé” became associated with the cheese which sold out in a few hours. The cheese is still produced next to the abbey in two forms; natural rind for eating immediately and affine
(matured.)

With a mouth watering flavour and creamy texture, the popularity of this cheese as a cheese board selection is no surprise.

Port Salut is a family favourite that has been enjoyed by people of all ages for more than 200 years.
