Cheese of the week: Saint Andre

Name: Saint Andre

Brand: Saint Andre

Place of Purchase: Cub Foods in Ames, Iowa

Country/Region of Origin: France

Price in Iowa: 22.99/lb.

Milk: cow

Processing: triple cream

Texture: soft

Color: buttery white

Rind: edible white mold

Aroma: clean dairy

Taste: clean front taste, mild dairy finish

Mouth feel: creamy silk; dense, rich and buttery

Notes: Wow. If they make cheese in Heaven, this is it. It's a creamy, crumbly, spreadable treasure that reminds me of everything that is good about Brie, but firmer, creamier and with a more well-rounded flavor. It's pretty pricey, though. But if you can find some, I insist that you try it.
