Salers is a semi-hard cow's milk cheese from Auvergne, in the highlands of central France. It is made only on farms, and only while the cows are out on pasture. The milk is raw and whole, and it is worked soon after milking. The cheese shares its name with the Salers breed, though not every wheel comes from that breed alone. A thick, dry rind covers a firm golden paste.
