Tuesday's Fête du Fromage - Bleu d'Auvergne and Saint-Félicien
Bleu d'Auvergne and Saint-Félicien
Saint-Félicien is a luscious, creamy cow's milk cheese with a high fat content (60%) made in the Rhône-Alpes region.
I adore this cheese! The texture is very soft and the flavor is mildly sour and tangy. I think Saint-Félicien is perfect in the morning, spread on toast and drizzled with honey.
Buttery, moist and smoky tasting, Bleu d'Auvergne is named for it's place of origin, the volcanic, remote Auvergne region of south-central France. It was discovered in 1850 by a farmer and was granted AOC status in 1975.
Try it with a sweet white wine and dried figs or with gutsy reds such as Côtes du Rhône or Cahors.
