Our advice for successfully baking
A very creamy cheese that we like to eat cold as well as hot
and tender, Mont-d'or is a must for cheese lovers. To achieve your "hot
box" to perfection, follow our advice.
If the origins of Mont-d'Or are still mysterious, we know
that Louis XV regularly made his delights. You can eat it raw, but nowadays
this cheese is often baked!
How to
choose the right Mont-d'or?
Mont-d'or, or Haut-Doubs vacherin, is produced in the Jura,
from August 15 to March 15 . The delicate woody taste of this cow's milk cheese
is partly due to the spruce strap surrounding it ... Mont-d'or benefits from a
French appellation of origin (AOC) and an appellation d European protected
origin (PDO): the mention of these labels on the packaging guarantees the
quality of the product.
To choose your cheese well, also remember to observe its
rind: it must be creased and very regular (no cracks). Finally, squeeze the
sides of the box to make sure the dough is not too firm ... Advice: Mont-d'Or
products sold in supermarkets are often intended for baking. They are still a
little "young": their paste is not melting enough to be savored raw,
with a spoon… For this type of consumption, it is better to look for a well-ripened
Mont-d'or on your cheesemaker's stall. .
How to
prepare a "hot box"?
For a "hot box" for 4 people , take a Mont-d'or of
500 g. While your oven is preheating to 220 ° C, place the lid of the Mont-d'or
under the box, and dig in the middle of the cheese with a spoon. Pour 5 cl of
white wine (Savagnin du Jura type, to stay in the tradition) in the hollow
before baking for 25 minutes ...
Normally, the "hot box" is served with boiled
potatoes with their skin on , then placed in the oven for a few minutes to make
them crispier. Table on a dozen potatoes. Also plan 4 slices of raw ham from
Haut-Doubs, and cook 1 Morteau sausage, 1 Morteau sausage with cumin and 1
Morteau sausage with cabbage in a saucepan (start in cold water: allow 25
minutes of cooking when the water starts to simmer). Once well cooked, the
Mont-d'or is poured over the charcuterie and potatoes: a treat!
