  Beaufort (cheese) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beaufort exists in three varieties, Beaufort de Savoie (summer Beaufort) and Beaufort d’alpage (made in chalets in the Alps) and Beaufort d'hiver.
Beaufort cheese is prepared using 130 gallons of milk for every 99 pounds of cheese desired.
Beaufort also has a very distinct aroma reminiscent of the scent of the pastures on which the Tarentaise and Abondance cows which provide the cheese's milk graze.

Beaufort is often enjoyed with Volnay (Côtes de Beaune) or a golden yellow wine of the Savagnin grape (from the Savoie) matured in oak casks for at least six years giving it a walnut flavour.
