As spring blooms across the culinary landscape, we are delighted to unveil a curated selection of exquisite cheeses from Mons that are currently at their peak. From the picturesque countryside of France to the alpine meadows of Switzerland, this delightful assortment of artisanal cheeses promises to captivate and inspire.

Sheep cheeses started earlier this year and are at their absolute best. Beautiful bloomy rind and melting heart of Castillon is an experience on its own. Meanwhile Abondance, France’s most powerful hard cheese, has reached the perfect maturation and its complex personality will shine on cheese platters. Have a tasty read!

Castillon  •  France, Côte-d'Azur
Milk: Raw sheep
Smell: Herbaceous and slightly bestial
Taste: Hazelnut, herbaceous, bestial
Texture: Smooth paste, almost creamy
 

A tasty wonder for this small Crottin and a standard for small sheep milk lactic type of cheese. Subtle flavours, a great delicacy and a quality of texture that makes this Castillon a “need to be tasted right now” cheese. Made with raw milk, a few drops of rennet, no ferments.
