Fourme de Montbrison, tasting at the Atelier du Goût

Its cousin, Fourme d'Ambert: Fourme d'Ambert production is similar to that of Montbrison. The main differences are in the salting process (for Montbrison, it's the milk that's salted; for Ambert, it's the curd) and in the preparation: fourme d'Ambert is first cut into cubes, then stirred before being molded, which gives it a different appearance, with less compact, loose pieces.
