About Saint-Nectaire

Saint-Nectaire is a French semi-soft cow’s-milk cheese associated with the Auvergne region. It is eaten as a table cheese and may also be used in cooking. Its characteristic flavour is savoury and earthy, with strength varying as it matures.

The cheese has a natural rind and a supple, pale interior. It is made in farm-produced and dairy-produced forms, and sold at different stages of ripeness. Differences in production and maturation can affect its aroma, texture, and moisture.
