Description
Vacherousse d'Argental is a delightfully smooth, creamy French cheese, made from fresh cows milk produced in the Lyonnais region of France.
The rind is first washed with brine and annatto, then matured for a minimum of two weeks, during which the exterior develops a mottled red, orange and white mould. That is where the name comes from: Vacherousse means red cow.
The cheese itself is very creamy with the texture of thick clotted cream and a fresh, lively flavour.
Allergen advice: this product contains annatto.
How much to buy
All 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.
Delivery
Your cheese is cut fresh to order, wrapped and packed by hand and delivered on the day you choose. We deliver across the UK from Tuesday to Friday each week. If you are ordering for a gift or special occasion we advise you to always allow an extra day in case of any unforeseen courier delays.

Suggestion – WALNUT, HONEY & OLIVE OIL CRACKERS
Ideal with fresh fruit and sweet preserves, but equally good on a savoury cracker for the crunch. Pair with a glass of fruity Riesling.
Texture of thick clotted cream and a name that means red cow. Hard to argue with either.
