Port Salut (France)
Port Salut is a creamy, mellow semi-soft cow‘s milk cheese with a bright orange rind. It was originally made by Trappist monks in the west of France. During the French Revolution, a group of Trappist monks fled France to escape persecution. In order to survive abroad, they learned to make cheese. When they returned to France, they continued to make their new style of cheese. Unlike many other French cheeses, Port Salut is rather mild and sweet in flavor. Its light yellow paste is smooth and velvety with a touch of tanginess. Port Salut may be served at room temperature as a table cheese, but it also melts well for cooking. Made in France.
