Saint-Felicien is a soft, cow's milk cheese that originated from the farms in the Rhone-Alpes region of France. The cheese is ripened at least 2-6 weeks during which it develops a bloomy rind and a natural golden-beige colour. The taste, rind and texture are creamy, delicate and soft due to the use of soft curd in the cheesemaking process. The cheese is sold in a small ceramic pot since the pate can almost become runny.
Cheese aficionados adore Saint Félicien with a chilled Sancere or Pouilly Fume. It is also served with Cotes du Rhone and all kinds of light red, fruity red, dry light white wines.
