Discover St Angel: The Luxurious Triple Cream Cheese from France

If you're looking for the ultimate indulgence in French cheese, look no further than St Angel – a decadent triple cream cheese that embodies everything we love about French fromagerie.

What Makes St Angel Special?

St Angel is a triple cream cheese, which means it contains at least 75% butterfat in its dry matter. This extra cream gives it an incredibly rich, velvety texture that literally melts in your mouth. Wrapped in its distinctive white bloomy rind, St Angel is a feast for both the eyes and the palate.

The French Art of Triple Cream

Hailing from the Normandy region of France – renowned for its lush pastures and exceptional dairy – St Angel represents centuries of French cheesemaking expertise. The addition of extra cream during production creates a cheese that's impossibly smooth and buttery, with a mild, slightly sweet flavour that appeals to both cheese novices and connoisseurs alike.

Tasting Notes

When you cut into St Angel, you'll discover:

• Texture: Soft, spreadable, and luxuriously creamy
• Flavour: Mild and buttery with subtle mushroom notes from the bloomy rind
• Aroma: Delicate and fresh with a hint of earthiness
• Finish: Rich and lingering, with a pleasant creaminess

How to Enjoy St Angel

St Angel is incredibly versatile and perfect for:

On a Cheese Board: Let it come to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving. Pair it with fresh baguette, water crackers, or our artisan lavosh. Add fresh figs, grapes, or a drizzle of honey to complement its creamy richness.

Wine Pairing: St Angel pairs beautifully with Champagne or sparkling wine – the bubbles cut through the richness perfectly. It also works wonderfully with light, fruity white wines like Sauvignon Blanc or a crisp Pinot Grigio.

Simple Indulgence: Sometimes the best way to enjoy St Angel is simply spread on warm, crusty bread with a touch of sea salt and cracked black pepper.

Serving Tips

To experience St Angel at its best:

• Remove from refrigeration 30-45 minutes before serving
• The rind is completely edible and adds a pleasant earthy note
• Use a cheese knife or wire cutter to slice cleanly through the soft interior
• Store wrapped in wax paper in your refrigerator's cheese drawer

Perfect for Special Occasions

Whether you're hosting an elegant dinner party, creating a romantic cheese board for two, or simply treating yourself to something special, St Angel brings a touch of French luxury to any occasion. Its mild, crowd-pleasing flavour makes it an excellent choice for entertaining guests who might be new to artisan cheese.
