Sold outSaint Nectaire Fermier Guillaume
Supple, creamy, lactic, delicate and gloriously earthy. The search for a perfect Saint Nectaire Fermier took us underground into caves carved into volcanic rock a century ago. We emerged having found something truly special: the hand-wrought affinage of Fromagerie Guillaume. Unfortunately, St Nectaire is currently out of stock. This is due to a temporary ban on the import of French and Italian raw milk soft and semi-soft cheeses due to an outbreak of a disease in cattle. There have been minimal cases, but DEFRA are maintaining a very cautious approach to protect our British herds. Suggested Alternative: St HelenaA British washed rind cheese inspired by St Nectaire which offers a similar supple paste with fruity & rich dairy notes that develop to an earthy/ vegetal finish.
Raw MilkSold out
Cheeses made with milk that has not been heat-treated, so retaining the natural bacteria and enzymes present in the milk. Native microbes can contribute to significantly more interesting and complex flavours when in the hands of a skilled cheesemaker.
