About Port Salut
Port Salut is a classic French semi-soft cheese with a rich history dating back to 1816 when it was first created by Trappist monks at the Port-du-Salut Abbey in northwestern France. The cheese is instantly recognisable by its distinctive bright orange washed rind and mild, creamy interior. Port Salut offers an accessible entry point into French cheese - its flavour is pleasantly mild and slightly sweet with subtle earthy notes, making it appealing to those who find stronger cheeses overwhelming. The texture is smooth and supple, becoming increasingly creamy as it approaches room temperature. Now produced commercially while maintaining traditional methods, Port Salut is available in the UK as traditional wedges or convenient pre-sliced formats perfect for sandwiches and snacking. The sliced version has become particularly popular for lunchboxes and quick meals, offering the authentic taste of French cheese in a convenient format. Port Salut pairs beautifully with crusty bread, fruits, and light wines, making it a versatile choice for cheese boards and everyday eating. Whether you're building a sophisticated cheese selection or simply want a quality cheese for sandwiches, Port Salut delivers authentic French flavour.
