After 9 to 11 months of aging, this cheese is wrapped in grape leaves which have been soaked in a pear spirit. This one of a kind cheese is made once annually. Made by Rogue Creamery.
Hailing from the Normandy region of northwestern France, Saint Andre is a triple crème cow's milk cheese with a high fat (75%) content that can be contributed to the addition of velvety heavy cream, making it dense, buttery and rich.
While the inside is ivory white in color, the rind is covered with a velvety and powdery bloomy mold to protect the creamy contents inside.
Saint Andre can best be described as an intense version of Brie.
By wedding this rich, creamy cheese to the berry and plum notes of Merlot, we’ve created a marriage of flavors destined to make your taste buds say, “I do.” On that note, if you invite a few friends from our pairing guide — say, toasted walnuts, thin slices of prosciutto and semisweet chocolates for dessert — the honeymoon never has to end.
