About Saint-André Cheese
Saint-André is a luxurious French triple-cream cheese known for its rich, buttery texture and mild, slightly tangy flavor. Made in Normandy, it has a velvety interior that’s smooth and spreadable, surrounded by a delicate white rind. Its high cream content gives it an indulgent, melt-in-your-mouth quality similar to Brie, but even creamier.
Pairings
Saint-André pairs beautifully with crusty baguettes, fresh berries, honey, and nuts. It also complements sparkling wines or crisp white wines like Champagne or Sauvignon Blanc, which balance its richness.
Funfact: Saint-André contains about 70% butterfat—three times more than regular Brie—earning it the nickname “the heavenly cheese” for its ultra-creamy, decadent taste. Browse All Cheeses →
