| Saint Angel Triple Crème is a French soft-ripened cheese from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, using ultrafiltration technology pioneered by Jean-Claude Guilloteau. Made from pasteurized cow's milk enriched with cream, it achieves a fat in dry matter (FDM) of about 71-75%, yielding a rich, smooth texture resembling whipped butter. Milk from Montbéliarde and Prim'Holstein cows ensures quality and flavor. Coagulated with microbial rennet, it ages 2-3 weeks with a bloomy rind, ripening evenly throughout. Its complex flavor features sweet cream, tangy, and mushroom notes. It pairs best with sparkling wine, crisp whites, and light reds. | |
