Saint Nectaire hails from the Auvergne region of France, where lush pastures provide the perfect grazing for cows. This semi-soft cheese has a rich history, dating back to the 12th century when it was crafted by monks. Its creamy, earthy flavor profile reflects the volcanic soil of the region. With a washed rind that develops a distinct orange hue, Saint Nectaire is a true representation of French cheesemaking tradition.
