Abondance - France

With a nutty aroma, creamy and slightly fruity taste, this is one French cheese you won't be able to get enough of, despite its name. Produced in the Haute-Savoie (aka mountain) region of France, it comes from unpasteurized cow's milk and is aged for a minimum of 3 months to fully develop its flavors. Try it in the classic Savoie dish Berthoud, made by rubbing garlic onto individual-sized oven-proof dishes, then layering on slices of Abondance cheese, followed by a sprinkling of pepper and a bit of dry white wine. Top with a few pads of butter, and bake in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes.  Serve with soft bread cubes for dipping and boiled potatoes on the side.
