St Nectaire DOP +/- 205g (PC)

Description

Introduced to the Court of King Louis XIV by the French Marshall Henri de La Ferté-Sennecterre (1600-1681), Saint Nectaire was appreciated by Sun King. Its reputation is done when Legrand d’Aussy wrote in 1768, in his travel tale in Auvergne: «If we want you to enjoy, it is always Saint Nectaire that we offer you ». Farmer cheese is still made today and usually by women. Saint Nectaire was called until XVIIth century « rye cheese » because it was refined on straw. Saint Nectaire was made on a volcanic area, counting many streams and an average altitude of 1000 meters where grows an abundant and varied flora, dotted with aromatic plants. That is the one which gives the milk, and consequently the cheese, its inimitable land perfume. Saint Nectaire is widely used in regional culinary preparations. Its rustic flavor, which lets out hazelnut smells, allows it to go along with all meals, especially in a shape of a pie, or brioche.
