Saint Andre

What can I say about Saint Andre? It's a triple-creme cheese with 75 percent milk-fat. That means that it is like butter encased in a delicious moldy crust. It's a very good cheese, and almost disturbingly buttery. Its texture is so, so rich. Velvety, really. This is not a cheese you should eat every day.

It tastes like brie, yes, but more sophisticated. It goes well with crusty bread, fruit, whatever you want, really. Wikipedia warns: "Saint-André is so fatty it can make a white wine taste sour and metallic: a crust of baguette and a light beer or simply a slice of pear are often suggested as better complements." Damn! It's so fatty that it can ruin a glass of wine! That's one fatty cheese.

RATING: 3 out of 5 stars
