Chalet du Jura -- amazing French cheese
Modeled after one of the most famous cheeses -- Vacherin Mont d'Or. Vacherin Mont d'Or is not available in the United States because it is not pasteurized and aged under 60 days. Chalet du Jura is basically a pasteurized version of Vacherin Mont d'Or. Vacherin is a name give to the smaller wheels of cheese made at the end of summer when the cow's milk production declines. The outside of the cheese is wrapped with red pine that actually adds even more character to the cheese.
Steve Jenkins, The Cheese Primer calls Vacherin Mont d'Or "one of the highest achievements of human civilization."
