Made from cow’s milk, it can be raw or pasteurised, and is aged for at least 10 days, during which it develops a thin, wrinkled rind that encases a soft, creamy interior. When young, it has a mild, tangy freshness, while as it matures, it becomes runny, rich, and deeply earthy. Traditionally sold in small round disks, often presented in a terracotta or wooden dish, Saint-Marcellin is perfect for spreading on fresh baguettes, baking until warm and molten, or serving on a cheeseboard. It pairs beautifully with dry Rhône Valley whites like Viognier or Saint-Joseph, as well as light, fruity reds like Beaujolais.
