Chimay A La Biere 5 lb

Special order. 2-week lead time.

The early history of this cheese is entwined with a group of Cistercian monks who built the Scourmont Abbey.  It was they who first began washing this cheese in Chimay Trappist beer and thereby giving it the subtle toasty hop taste on the finish. The firm rind carries this heady beer aroma with a subtle hint of the farmyard, while the overall taste on the tongue is fruity and smooth. The paste is smooth and creamy and melts incredibly well.
