Port Salut cheese is a semi-soft, cow’s milk cheese originating from the Loire Valley in France. Known for its smooth, creamy texture and mild, tangy flavor, it features a distinct orange rind created during its aging process. Traditionally crafted by Trappist monks, this cheese is rich in protein and calcium, which contribute to bone health and muscle maintenance. However, Port Salut is relatively high in fats and sodium, so moderation is key for those monitoring their heart health or daily calorie intake. The pasteurized cheese is versatile, complementing fruits, crackers, or breads, and is often used in French-inspired dishes and cheese plates. Its velvety consistency makes it a favorite for spreads or melted applications, offering indulgence with a balance of nutrition.
