Originating from the Ambert area in the Livradois-Forez Regional Nature Park as far back as the 8th century, Fourme d'Ambert is a blue-veined cow's milk cheese that carries the AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) quality label. Delicious with a slice of bread and a glass of fruity red wine, this cheese is also the perfect ingredient for a sauce.

The Maison de la Fourme d'Ambert et des Fromages d'Auvergne cheese information centre, located in Ambert old town, tells visitors all about the history of Fourme d'Ambert and its different production stages.
