Saint Nectaire PDO 1/2 wheel

Saint nectaire a famous cheese from Auvergne

 

Made from cows that feed on the very rich and perfumed volcanic pasture lands of the uplands of the Auvergne region of France.

 

The Saint Nectaire fermier (farm) cheese is easily recognized by its green label.

 

The caving process is carried out in old vine cellars.

 

At maturity the thick rind gives off a subtle, slightly pungent smell of rye straw and mushroom.

 

The pate should have a pronounced taste of nutmilk and the lush pasture, lands of his origin.

 

The natural rind, covered by white, yellow or red mould according to the maturing period, hides a creamy and supple pate.
