Questions about Port-salut cheese
What does Port-salut taste like?
Port-salut is a mild, buttery, slightly tangy cow’s-milk cheese with a smooth, supple texture. Its orange rind is edible, though you can trim it off if you prefer.
How should you serve Port-salut?
Take it out of the fridge about 20–30 minutes before serving so its flavour and texture can open up. Cut it into wedges or slices for a cheeseboard or sandwiches.
What goes well with Port-salut?
Pair its mild, creamy flavour with crusty bread, apples or pears, grapes, and a little chutney. It also works in a toasted cheese sandwich or melted over potatoes.
Can you cook with Port-salut?
Yes. Slice or grate it over potatoes, vegetables or toast, then grill until melted and bubbling; it usually takes a few minutes. For a sauce, stir it into warm milk over low heat rather than boiling it, which can make the texture oily.
How do you store Port-salut after opening?
Wrap it in cheese paper or baking paper, then keep it in a sealed container in the fridge to prevent it drying out and transferring its aroma. Cut away only the portion you need and rewrap the remainder.
Can you freeze Port-salut?
You can freeze it, but thawed Port-salut may become crumbly, so freezing is best for cheese you plan to melt into sauces or cooked dishes. Wrap it tightly, freeze in portions, and thaw slowly in the fridge.
Is Port-salut the same as Saint-Paulin?
They are closely related, mild French washed-rind cheeses, and the names are sometimes used for similar styles. Port-salut is generally recognised by its orange rind and supple, creamy paste; the exact style can differ between makers.
How much protein does Port-salut provide?
A 30 g piece provides 7.1 g of protein. It is also a source of calcium and vitamin B12.
