St Felicien Etoile, Cows Milk, 180g

St Felicien Etoile Cheese is 180g of St Félicien Étoile, the larger cream-enriched sibling of St Marcellin, a Dauphiné cow’s milk soft cheese in its ceramic baking dish. St Felicien Etoile cheese is the richest small French soft cheese. As a result, the cream enrichment gives a more unctuous, indulgent character. Furthermore, baking in the ceramic dish at 180°C for 12 minutes creates a warm, runny luxury. In particular, at 180g this generously serves one or makes a shared starter for two.

About St Felicien Etoile Cheese

We source French soft cheese from specialist affineurs and fermier producers across Normandy, Burgundy, Savoie and the Rhône-Alpes. In particular, fermier production means the cheese is made on the farm with a single herd. As a result, a Camembert de Normandie fermier is a fundamentally different product from a supermarket version. Furthermore, the great washed-rind cheeses of France — Epoisses, Munster, Langres and Livarot — have a pungency and depth no other cheese style matches. However, soft cheeses are at their best at room temperature — allow 45 to 60 minutes out of the fridge before serving. In particular, AOP and DOP certification guarantees genuine French origin. Additionally, every cheese here benefits from the finest bread and a complementary wine. That commitment to fermier quality defines every soft French cheese we offer. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cheese lovers.

Why Choose St Felicien Etoile Cheese From Us

Using French soft and washed-rind cheese well requires one essential habit: patience. In contrast to serving straight from the fridge, soft cheese at room temperature has an entirely different flavour and texture. As a result, always remove soft cheese at least 45 minutes to 1 hour before serving. Furthermore, a ripe Brie or Camembert should wobble and feel almost liquid at the centre. However, washed-rind cheeses smell considerably stronger than they taste — the aroma is a poor guide to the flavour. In particular, the Langres crater is designed to receive Champagne or Burgundy at the table. Moreover, baking Vacherin, Camembert or St Marcellin at 180°C creates a molten experience. Additionally, always serve on a board with good bread — nothing else is needed. That room temperature patience and good bread define how to serve these magnificent cheeses.

How to Serve St Felicien Etoile Cheese

To get the very best from it:

• Bake in the ceramic dish at 180°C for 12 minutes until warm and runny at the centre.
• Serve at room temperature on good bread as a simple outstanding preparation.
• Furthermore, serve alongside a green salad with walnuts and lardons for a complete course.
• Additionally, pair with Condrieu or Saint-Joseph for the authentic Dauphiné experience.

Perfect Pairings

This product pairs beautifully with:

• Good French bread or walnut bread alongside.
• A glass of Condrieu, Saint-Joseph or a good Hermitage Blanc alongside.
• Walnuts and honey for the board alongside.
• A green salad with lardons and croutons for the bistro preparation.

Storage: Keep refrigerated. Furthermore, consume within 5 to 7 days, checking the use-by date. However, always remove from the fridge 45 to 60 minutes before serving. Soft cheese is at its best at full room temperature.

However you serve it, St Felicien Etoile Cheese brings a character that only genuine artisan cheese can deliver. Moreover, great cheese always rewards good bread, the right wine and serving at room temperature.
