'''Abondance''' is a semi-hard, fragrant, raw-milk [[cheese]] made in the [[Haute-Savoie]] [[Departments of France|department]] of [[France]]. Its name comes from a small commune also called [[Abondance]]. A round of Abondance weighs approximately 10 kg and its aroma is similar to that of [[Beaufort (cheese)|Beaufort]], also from France. Abondance is made exclusively from milk produced by the [[Abondance (cattle)|Abondance]] breed of cattle. In 1998, 873 tonnes were produced (+16.4% since 1996), 34% from local farms.
