This rustic Auvergne is known for its creamy, firm texture and was already appreciated at the table by Louis XIV. Its area of origin, in the heart of the famous Auvergne volcanic chain, is one of the smallest in France and its reputation could not be better. This cheese with a greyish to orange rind is aged for 4 to 6 weeks.
Saint-Nectaire has been labeled with the European AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) seal since 1955.
The red European AOP seal (appellation d'origine protégée = "protected designation of origin") guarantees the consumer that all production stages take place exclusively in the defined geographical area of the designation, from the production of the milk to the maturing of the cheese.
In France, 45 types of cheese, 3 types of butter and 2 types of cream are labeled with the European seal "AOP".
