Saint Flour Cremeux

A blue cheese from France. The Saint Flour Cremeux is a soft blue-veined cheese from the Auvergne, made by Cantorel. The name says it all: 'cremeux', meaning creamy, and this cheese is exceptionally so. The soft, supple body is laced with blue-green mold veins that deliver a spicy, peppery kick, beautifully balanced by the rich, creamy base.

The texture is soft and almost spreadable, making this cheese perfect for spreading on bread or toast. The flavor is more complex than Saint Agur but more approachable than a Roquefort. A golden middle ground for blue cheese lovers who want to combine creaminess with character.

Pairs well with: a glass of sweet white wine, dessert wine or a dark abbey ale. Spread on toast with honey, crumble over a warm salad, or serve as a dessert cheese with figs. Pair it with the Saint Agur for a blue cheese comparison, or with the Gorgonzola for a French-Italian showdown.
