Funky Cheese Friday
Saint-André
St. André is a soft ripened triple crème cheese. This means that the butterfat content is around 75%. This high butterfat content is achieved by adding cream to the already rich milk. The cheese is carefully placed in draining molds and lightly pressed, then aged for 3 weeks with the help of it's white surface mold.
Type: Pasteurized cow's milk
Country: France
Provenance: Middle Pyrénées
Producer: Saint-André roots start in 1928 at the St. Andre Creamery in Villefranche de Rouergue, France. You may recognize this area from our Roquefort review.
Wine Pairing: Because of the high fat content, this cheese can be difficult to pair with some wines. Try fruitier white wines like Chardonnay, Riesling or a Champagne Blanc de Blancs.
