Saint-Nectaire is a French cheese from the Auvergne region of France. Made from the milk of Salers cows that feed on rich, volcanic pastures. Saint-Nectaire fermier takes six to eight weeks to mature on rye straw mats, imparting a peculiar pungent smell to the cheese. When properly aged, it has a grayish-purple washed rind, dotted with white, yellow and red molds. The creamy, supple, silky textured paste melts in the mouth to reveal flavours of nuts, hay, cellars and mushroom.
A glass of Bordeaux, Shiraz, Côtes d'Auvergne or Beaujolais and Saint-Nectaire will go hand-in-hand.
