{"product_id":"fleur-des-alpes","title":"Fleur des Alpes","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: due to current import restrictions on unpasteurised cheeses, Fleur des Alpes is temporarily replacing Reblochon as a very similar pasteurised alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFleur des Alpes is a semi-soft, washed rind, smear-ripened mountain cheese made from pasteurised cows milk. It is well aged in an airy cellar, and you can see the effects of that ageing in the rind, which is covered with a fine white mould.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe style originated in the heart of the Massif des Aravis, in the Thônes region of Haute-Savoie. Thirteenth-century fables tell of Savoie herdsmen who deliberately carried out an incomplete milking to reduce their taxable production, then returned to finish the job once the rent had been paid to the landowners. That second, richer milking is where the tradition comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow much to buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA whole cheese weighs approximately 450 to 500g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can and happy to offer advice on purchasing the right amount if you are unsure. If you would like a price for larger weights or whole cheeses, please call us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour cheese is cut fresh to order, wrapped and packed by hand and delivered on the day you choose.
