I had this cheese in a restaurant and loved it ... tracked it down to Deliss. It's beautifully rich and complex with a lovely semi-hard texture. It's a washed rind and that gives it an intriguing but not overpowering aroma and contributes subtly to the complexity.
excellent
Thank you Joelle for your review. However from your kind words I can see you meant to give 5 stars for our St Nectaire!
I haven’t had this cheese before. It’s very nice with a lovely fresh summery taste. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you Doreen, I am glad you have discovered Saint Nectaire AOP cheese.
The Saint Nectaire is just as I remember it. My favorite cheese and I can now enjoy it here. The Raclette was also lovely. It arrived promptly too.
Merci Claire for your praise of our St Nectaire and raclette cheese!
