Cheese from France, Auvergne, the Cantal mountains
Salers PDOSalers
Salers is made only on the farm, from 15 April to 15 November while the cows graze, with raw milk poured straight into a wooden vat called a gerle whose biofilm seeds it. The curd is pressed into a block (the tome), left to sour, then milled, salted and pressed into a 30–50 kg drum. It ripens at least three months in cool, very damp cellars. Made in 9 steps over 3.1 months. The longest step, ripen in a damp cellar, takes at least 3 months (Ministère de l'agriculture 2021) and runs at 6–14 °C (Ministère de l'agriculture 2021). Salt is at least 2 % (Ministère de l'agriculture 2021). Lactic acid bacteria in the gerle biofilm (Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus hilgardii); lactobacilli at 4.50–6.01 log CFU/cm² and Lactic acid bacteria in the cheese, among 381 isolates do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceThe specification fixes limits, not a recipe. One cheese weighs 30–50 kg; the gerle's size varies by farm.
Raw whole cow milk · From the farm's own grazing herd, used straight after milking; fat and protein not adjusted[cdc-sale2021]
Rennet · Dose set so that the milk sets in 12–16 min[cdc-sale2021]
Cultures of bacteria, yeasts and moulds (optional) · Only cultures shown to be safe; the gerle seeds the milk itself[cdc-sale2021][didienne2012]
At least 2% of the tome weight
Dry salt · Mixed by hand into the milled curd[cdc-sale2021]

What makes this one different
Salers is made like Cantal, by pressing, souring, milling and salting a curd block before the final pressing. Unlike Cantal it is made only on the farm, only while the cows graze, and always in a wooden gerle that seeds the milk with its own microbes.
Milk
Raw whole milk from one farm's grazing herd, made on that farm between 15 April and 15 November
Ripening
At least 3 months from moulding
Size
Drum of 30–50 kg with slightly bulging ends; at least 44 g fat per 100 g dry matter and 58 g dry matter per 100 g
This is a raw-milk uncooked cheese. ANSES advises pregnant women, young children, people over 65 and people with weak immunity not to eat raw-milk cheeses other than cooked pressed ones such as Comté. Cooking the cheese removes the risk.
Hazards the sources name: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli (risks ANSES names for raw-milk cheeses); none of these grew on gerles in a 10-farm study.
The specification says cheeses of the area were known in Roman times. For centuries Salers was made in summer in burons, stone huts that were home, dairy and cellar, and sold in autumn to valley merchants who ripened it further. It became an appellation by decree of 21 December 1961.
