41. Cooked pressed cheeses Emmental, Comté, Beaufort, Gruyere: Traditional mountain cheeses. Farmers combined their herds at summer pastures in the mountains of the Alps and Jura. Had enough milk to produce large cheeses. Needed to make cheeses with long shelf life because it took a long time to get the cheeses down from the mountains and to market Fruit of the mountains: produced at fruitieres: Comté produced at close to 200 fruitieres in Franche Comté. Must be made with milk from Montbeliard cow
42. Non-cooked pressed cheeses Frequently named from the Abbeys which originally produced them: Chambarand, Port-du-salut, Abondance The Morbier: From the Jura mountain region. Traditionally during winter the cows came down from mountain pastures. Each farmer looked after his own cows. The farmer obtained less milk and this created the need for a smaller cheese. After making cheese curd in the morning, the curd was covered in ash to keep it from spoiling until the evening. The milk obtained from the evening milking was transformed into curd and combined with the morning curd. The ash created a dark line within the cheese.
43. Bloomy rind cheeses The Camembert was developed during the French revolution by a Normandy farmer, Marie Harel. She was hiding a priest who taught her how to make brie style cheeses. By the end of the 18 th century Napoleon the III discovered the cheese while traveling in Normandy which he named Camembert . Cheeses from the warmer French low-land were easily brought to market. Individual farmers produced their own cheeses. Thus these cheeses were much smaller and could be sold quickly. These cheeses were therefore made with a mold that accelerates ripening.
