Saint Albray Cheese

The flavors of Saint Albray unfold like the petals of its flowered shape. Starting mellow the cow’s milk cheese grows more powerful as it ages. Soft-ripened for two weeks in the mountainous Pyrénées the rich aroma and rustic rind are backed by light orange undertones. Saint Albray was first created in the 1970s to shine like a smooth Camembert with a milder flavoring. The flowered rind grows firm and flavorful during the delicate aging process concealing the creamy brioche-like texture inside. When you dive into rind and center you'll discover a faint caramel nuttiness that brings out the tart sweetness of dried fruit.
