Saint-Nectaire AOC Affinage d’Excellence French Cheese Whole Wheel

St. Nectaire AOC Affinage d'Excellence is an unpasteurized, pressed, aged, cow's milk cheese from France. Its supple texture and creamy color yield a delicate, nutty taste. It is matured on natural straw which gives it an authentic taste. with fresh, warm raw milk collected from the farm in the morning and in the evening. The cheese is ripened for at least 4 weeks in cellars naturally cut into the rock, in Aubière. The straw slightly dries the cheese and gives it an inimitable hazelnut flavor, a pronounced terroir taste and a strong smell. The cheese is covered by a natural rind on which greyish-orange mold develop: this is completely normal and a sign of quality. Whole wheel, 4 lb.
