What goes with Vacherin Mont d'Or?
The French Mont d’Or, also called Vacherin du Haut-Doubs, is a soft cow milk cheese held by a spruce strap and sold in a wooden box. A ripe interior can be spooned and has a creamy, gently savoury character. This profile concerns that French cheese, rather than the Swiss Mont-d’Or or firm Vacherin Fribourgeois, which require different handling.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Vacherin Mont d'Or?
Warm potatoes, crisp bread and mushrooms provide a useful balance to the cheese's flowing richness. A measured amount of dry white wine can give a baked preparation lift. Small portions work well inside a stronger wrapper, provided the wrapper cooks before the cheese escapes. Keep smoky meat, soy seasoning or chilli controlled so the gentle woody character remains perceptible.
