Saint Marcellin (3 ounce) by igourmet.com Feature
- A cute little goat cheese packed in a ceramic crock
- Similar to Banon, but without the chestnut leaves
- Serve as a dessert cheese with Sauternes
- Made from pasteurized milk
- Imported from France
Originally a version of Banon, a cheese from Provence that is dipped in white wine and wrapped in chestnut leaves, St. Marcellin is now a cheese all its own. Handmade in Provence in the Dauphiné region, this wonderful little cheese is rindless and made from 100% local cow's milk. Intensely creamy, nutty and complex in flavor, St. Marcellin is one of those rare cheeses that takes you back to its homeland. Still similar to Banon, yet minus the chestnut leaves, St. Marcellin is a bit creamier and forceful than its leaf-cloaked cousin.
