Commission Implementing Regulation 857/2013 of 4 September 2013 approving non-minor amendments to the specification for a name entered in the register of protected designations of origin and protected geographical indications (Mont d’Or/Vacherin du Haut-Doubs (PDO)).  The product bearing the protected name is a French cheese from the area of Pontarlier.  It is "light yellow, moldy, wavy and pleated rind. Its ivory interior, depending on its age and temperature, goes from tender and unctuous to completely fluid, as if it were a dense, creamy soup. Natural, pure cow’s milk flavor, very concentrated and strong, always balanced with very nuanced acidity and bitterness; qualities that give it complexity, as well as a forest flavor. Its aroma is penetrating and persistent, with woody notes that enrich its eminently lactic character".
