Invented in the early XXth century by a Lyon dairy man not to waste the unsold milk and cream, the recipe is really similar to the Saint Marcelin recipe. But this cheese is bigger and more creamy with a softer taste. L’Etoile du Vercors is the reference brand for Saint Felicien. And this St Felicien attracts more and more consumers with its unctuous and unequalled flavour.
It is manufactured following an ancestal process thanks to the know-how of our Masters cheese-makers You can shop it at your cheesemonger or at the cheese counter or at the self-serve counter of your supermarkets. With or without packing or in its crock. You can taste it when it is soft (10 to 12 ripening days) or more tasty (20 ripening days) or even more creamy and intense flavour, or with exceptional ripening (around 28 days) Do you know our Saint Felicien Etoile du vercors tray pack ? the cheese slowly ripens in its pack inside your fridge.
Tasting advices :
- Take the cheese out of the fridge at least 15 mn before eating so that it is unctuous and tasty.
- Perfect to begin a cheese party before eating more tasty cheeses.
Accompanying wine : St Felicien is very well pairing with a wine from the same area such as Côtes du Rhône (Crozes-Hermitage, Vacqueyras…) or a Beaujolais (Brouilly, Morgon…)Their light and fruity flavour will enhance the soft flavour of ST FELICIEN
Our advise : our specialty « tentation de l’Etoile du Vercors » is a deep creamy cheese
