Abondance, a name-controlled cheese from the Savoy region of France, is made with fresh partially-skimmed milk and formed into 20-pound wheels. Aged for three months on spruce planks, the cheese is repeatedly washed with a saltwater brine to develop the natural rind. This extraordinary cheese is similar to Gruyere de Comte, but more complex and buttery. It has a firm texture, nutty flavor, and a distinctive fruitiness. While the strong aroma of this cheese may be a bit off-putting, the flavor is divine. In addition to being a delicious table cheese, Abondance melts nicely and is often substituted for Raclette.
  • Made from unpasteurized cow's milk, aged over 60 days.
  • Photo depicts whole 18 lb. form of cheese.
  • We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
  • Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

Smooth
Great cheese, smooth and nutty ! I would recommend this with some fruit and honey.

Very tasty, like a farmhouse Gruyere.
A bit fuller-bodied and less stinky than a Gruyere. Really worth bringing up to room temperature. This is a delicious cheese that I just placed two more orders for.

Delicious
Originally bought this to try in raclette; on initial opening, we were a little taken aback by the smell, but it tastes delicious! It doesn't melt terribly well for raclette, but it's usable. It's also good eaten straight. I've returned to buy this cheese multiple times.

Fabulous!
Definately needs to eaten at room temperature. This is such a delicious cheese - I will order this again and again!

Oh, yum!
This is a mildly stinky cheese that appears firm and cuts so, too, but when it is in your mouth it seems to melt on your tongue. Sooo good. Kat :)

love this cheese!
I first tried this in France. The version from igourmet seemed a little less aged, but delicious never-the-less. Not the prettiest cut (just a block). This is an excellent cheese to serve with red wine.

This is a great eating cheese
This cheese MUST be eaten at room temperature. It is great with apples,grapes or pears for dessert, as a melted cheese on crostini or with boiled potatoes, thinly sliced as a component of an antipasto plate or on a coldcut platter. It is also great melted on cauliflower and on pasta with grated tuna eggs (Bottarga di Tonno) or anchovies from igourmet.com. Wonderful as a raclette cheese.

Straight from the French Alps
This was so like the abodance we would purchase in the Haut Savoie where we skied with our family. It is great with French bread, a touch of butter, and a hearty glass of red wine. Close your eyes and listen to the cow bells ringing in the distance.
