St. Agur is a luxurious blue cheese originating from the Auvergne region in central France. Made from cow's milk, this cheese is known for its rich, creamy texture and distinctive blue veining. St. Agur has a unique double-cream content, which gives it a soft, spreadable consistency, unlike many other blue cheeses.
The flavour profile is bold yet balanced, offering a harmonious blend of sharp, tangy blue notes with a smooth, buttery finish. Its moist, creamy paste and slightly salty taste make it a versatile cheese, perfect for spreading on bread, crumbling over salads, or melting into sauces. St. Agur pairs beautifully with sweet dessert wines, like Sauternes, as well as robust red wines, enhancing its luxurious and indulgent qualities. This cheese epitomises French cheesemaking excellence, providing a sophisticated and delightful culinary experience.
