This gourmet specialty, emblematic of the Massif Central, perfectly embodies the Auvergne art of living. Let's dive together into the world of this unique culinary creation!
Saint-Nectaire: An exceptional cheese
Born in the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes, Saint-Nectaire is one of the oldest cheeses in France, benefiting from an AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) since 1955. Made from cow's milk, this soft cheese with a bloomy rind is distinguished by its melting texture and subtle, slightly nutty taste. Matured for at least four weeks in humid cellars, it develops typical aromas that make it an ingredient of choice for many recipes, including the famous brioche. Whether you enjoy it on a slice of fresh bread or melted in a gourmet recipe, Saint-Nectaire reveals all its character and authenticity.
