Located in:Cheese, France
The origin of Port Salut (also known as Saint Paulin) is closely linked to the French Revolution of 1789. Fleeing from the persecutions of the "Terror", a congregation of Trappist Monks set themselves up abroad and, in order to survive, learned how to make cheese. When they returned to France in 1815, they built a new abbey and continued to make their cheese. Port Salut is a semi-soft natural cheese that is easily recognized by its orange rind. Unlike many other French cheeses, it is rather mild and sweet in flavor. Smooth and velvety with a lightly acidic taste, Port Salut has universal appeal.
  • Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Comments about Port Salut by SAFR:

This cheese is a great mild counterpoint to its stronger cousins. Serve it on a cheese plate with fruit as an hors d'oeuvre or as part of an after-dinner cheese board.
I have purchased the whole wheel previously and saved 1/2 for myself and packaged the other as individual gifts. When kept from air it keeps reasonably well.

I cannot expree distaste about this product. This is actually the first time I have ever tried the Port Salut by SAFR. I am completely overtaken by it's lasting taste in my mouth even after several moments have gone by. I simply put this creamy cheese on a cracker and enjoyed it.
