meut of Puy-de-Dome, wliicli are known as " fourmes du Forez et D'Ambert " 

 are cylindrical in shape and 25 cm. long by 13 cm. in diameter. The dairy 

 methods used in making these cheeses are extremely primitive. A peculiarity 

 is the method of ripening, which is accomplished by placing the cheeses on 

 the ground in a cellar and covering them with earth, over which spring water 

 is allowed to flow. Molds develop in the earth causing many of the cheeses 

 to deteriorate in quality and to become unfit for export. The inside cuts of 

 the best cheeses have an appearance and taste quite similar to Roquefort, but 

 are not so dry as Septmoncel and Sassenage made in the southwest of France.

 France, the United States, and Germany. The exports to Italy have declined 

 in the past few years owing to the development of dairying in northern Italy.
