Saint nectaire fermier AOP/ 1.6kg / Cow/Raw/Animal Rennet / Soft natural/ Auvergne /  27% fat /

Cellar smell, earthy, lactic, delicately fruity and nutty yet. 

 

This traditional Auvergne cheese hides under its rustic-looking rind, a soft and soft supple paste which was already the delight of Louis XVI. He was introduced to the King's court thanks to the Maréchal de France, Henri de la Ferté-Sennecterre, hence his name.

It is produced in the Mont-Dore massif, in the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes, in one of the smallest AOC zones in France. It has benefited from an Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée since 1955, making it one of the oldest.

The rind of Saint Nectaire can have very different appearances depending on how long it is matured. It is always irregular, never uniform. It is spotted with white, brown or gray, on an orange-pink background. Its paste is bright cream in color and may have a few round fermentation holes.

 

Fresh apples, red fruits are good companions, great for a nibble, it will give a kick to many dishes.

Enjoy with a light fruity red wine like a beaujolais.
