Salers AOP
Salers AOP is a raw cow's milk cheese from the Auvergne, made only between April 15 and November 15 when the herds are up on the mountain pastures. It's one of the oldest recipes in France, and the AOP locks the whole picture in place, the breed, the pasture, the season, the press, the cave.
The paste is firm and dense, pressed and uncooked, breaking into clean slabs under the knife with a deep straw color from all that summer grass. On the palate it leads with savory, grassy, almost herbaceous notes, hay and wild herbs from the pasture, with a nutty undercurrent running through the middle. Then comes the calling card, a raw-onion bite on the back end that lingers and reminds you this is a real mountain cheese, not a quiet one.
This is a cheese that tastes like where it comes from. The seasonality is the whole point, every wheel is a snapshot of a specific summer on a specific hillside, and you can taste it.
