Made from cow's milk and ripened for at least two months, this is a rich, creamy blue with a spicy blue flavor.

Because of its creamy nature, it melts well in sauces or just on top of chops.- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

 An Excellent French CheeseDec 17, 2005
By John August
"Master Eclectic"
If I had to choose any one French cheese to eat for the rest of my life, this would be it. It may not exactly hold any snob appeal, because you can find this in every supermarket across France. However, it really satisfies.
It is a very creamy, tangy, balanced blue that neither overpowers nor bores the senses. I like this cheese best on French bread lightly dipped in olive oil infused with herbes de provence...eaten outside on a warm day with some red wine and pears.

St Agur creamy blue cheeseMay 31, 2008
By Naturalist

This is my favorite creamy blue cheese. Imagine mixing an excellent quality brie with a blue cheese. The flavor is more complex and interesting than creamy blues I can get in my local supermarket. A treat that is well worth the cost. Be sure to let it come to room temperature for full flavor. I like it on stoned wheat thins or a baguette with some grapes and a glass of wine .

Mild, Wonderful Blue Veined CheeseApr 12, 2005

'Saint Agur originates from the mountainous Auvergne region of central France, an area renowned for a centuries old tradition of blue cheese making. A rich blue taste with a smooth, creamy texture, Saint Agur is ideal for snacking, cooking and the cheeseboard.'
Saint Agur's 4th MiracleDec 06, 2011

I tasted this in a local wine and cheese shop, and it quickly became a favorite of my husband's and mine. Rich, tangy, salty, oh so creamy, this is a frequent visitor on our cheese board. We serve it with Australian wafer-thin crackers..........when we have guests. When no one is watching, I sneak nibble after nibble just on its own. Dolloped on a perfectly grilled rare ribeye, it melts beautifully into an ambrosial accompaniment.

 blue cream cheeseFeb 20, 2005
By Johnathon P. Nelson

I had a sample of this cheese today, it is very creamy, maybe to much for my taste, I prefer an harsh bite like Danish blue or Stilton, with a low cream content preferably.
