- Saint Albray
Saint Albray is a cheese which comes from the
Aquitaine region ofFrance .Invented in
1976 , the cheese is similar to Camembert cheese, it has the same attributes, but is not quite as strong. Made withpasteurized cow's milk, this popular cheese is ripened for 2 weeks and formed into a shape not unlike the head of a flower with each "petal" forming a half pound of cheese. The "petals" are formed around a disk, when removed, it creates a hollow center giving the impression of the center of the flower. Saint Albray slices beautifully and when the whole wheel is displayed, this cheese makes an attractive centerpiece to a table. Saint Albray is mild and moist, but still retains its body despite its creamy nature.References
