Eat good, eat real.

In Ambert in Livradois Forez, the Chef Toque d'Auvergne Thierry Chelle knows so well how to sublimate it. And, in the ovens of Amber restaurant “Les Copains”, Thierry made a wish 20 years ago: “take the fourme out of the cheese platter and bring it to the kitchen”. Today, a wish come true that seduces many taste buds during the " Fourmofolies in August in Ambert or the “Happy Fourme” organized throughout France.

“What I like: its softness, its main asset. Then, the exercise of cooking is the balance of flavors and this cheese knows how to leave room for the flavors that accompany it. Example, Fourme prawns: if you replace it with Roquefort, we will only smell Roquefort and no longer prawns. For the week of taste, I make a blueberry-fourme cake for the children, two flagship products of the region, a perfect mix to think about sweet and savory flavors. Always, in emulsion, in croque-monsieur, in candy: it's never finished with fourme. »
