Saint Agur is velvety, soft and incredibly creamy – and it comes into its own at Christmas. Less harsh than some other blue cheeses, this cheeseboard favourite boasts an indulgent richness and softness that beautifully compliments its famous blue tang – and it’s suitable for vegetarians.
Lovingly made in the French region of Monts du Velay in the mountainous Auvergne area, Saint Agur owes much of its signature flavour to the traditional methods used to make it. The result is a soft, blueveined cheese that’s ideal for snacking – the ultimate partner to a glass of shiraz, chardonnay or vouvray moelleux and a crowdpleasing alternative to stilton or danish blue at Christmas.
