help Mont Vully FAQ
Why is Mont Vully cheese washed with wine?
During maturation, its rind is rubbed with Pinot Noir from the Vully wine region. The treatment encourages the aromatic rind and contributes to the cheese's distinctive savory, slightly fruity character.
Where is Mont Vully cheese made?
It is made near the foot of Mont Vully in the canton of Fribourg, close to Lake Murten. The cheese is closely tied to the bilingual Three-Lakes region of western Switzerland.
Is Mont Vully a hard cheese like Gruyere?
Mont Vully is generally described as a semi-hard, washed-rind cheese rather than a very hard grating cheese. It is supple when younger and becomes firmer and more concentrated as it matures.
What should Mont Vully be paired with?
Its washed rind and nutty, wine-touched flavor pair naturally with Pinot Noir or Chasselas from the surrounding region. It also melts well in warm dishes, but serving it at room temperature makes its aroma more apparent.
