From Zuercher & Co.
Bûche du Vivarois: Produced by Guilloteau, this
2-pound French goat log fills the void left when
Sèvre et Belle stopped making Bûcheron. "There
are not a lot of these types of cheese in the case,"
says Zuercher representative Helder dos Santos.
Although slightly smaller than Bûcheron, it ages well,
says dos Santos, developing a cream line under its
bloomy rind and a smooth, non-chalky center.
Chablochon: A pasteurized replacement for raw-milk
Reblochon, Chablochon is a 7-ounce round that many
retailers find easier to manage than the traditional format,
at more than twice the size.

Single-Dairy Comté: Most affineurs of Comté buy and mature
wheels from multiple creameries and don't distinguish between them
when they're released. For Zuercher, well-regarded affineur Rivoire
Jacquemin is offering 6- to 10-month-old wheels from a small creamery
near the Swiss border and 15- to 21-month-old wheels from a much
larger co-op an hour away. This project offers the retailer the chance to
address the contributions of terroir and age to the finished product.
