Goutu let me get cheesy.

I love cheeses. I have eaten the cheese Goutu when on holiday in France.
We often pack a lunch to eat when we are walking in the mountains and a French bread and a piece of cheese and some fruit is our normal fare .
.
I expect we bought our ration of Goutu at Champion, Giant or maybe a small local shop. Sorry I have just searched the internet for a price but can not find one. I think this cheese was not an expensive one much the same price as other standard cheeses in the shop.

Goutu is a semi hard cheese French/swiss cheese easier to take in a rucksack than a soft one. It is a cooked cow’s cheese, a semi hard cheese one that has been pressed to make it firm. Goutu is a creamy yellow colour its texture smooth it has several small holes in it where the gas is made in the ripening process.

Goutu is a bit like Swiss Emmenthal and Appenzell. It has a pleasant taste quite mild,we have had a fussy child with us on holidays that would not eat strong cheeses and this one was one she liked. It’s difficult sometimes when in a foreign country with a fussy child to find familiar tastes or ones which are not too strong and it was a relief to find a cheese she liked.

This cheese will melt so would be fine for cheese on toast or making a fondue or an omelette. This cheese is easy to slice as it is firm and not crumbly.
This cheese like others is good for children and the elderly as it contains calcium essential for bone growth.

Summary: A cheese not unlkike Swiss Emmenthal and Appenzell
