Thanks to the milk from the herd of Salers cows, the Saint Nectaire is a creamy, full-bodied cheese. The wild flowers that the cows eat, in combination with the rich volcanic soil at a minimum height of 1000 meters, are always reflected in the cheese. A creamy, full flavor that is earthy and nutty. The crust tastes like a combination of salt, walnut, spices and copper. The peculiar pungent smell is due to the ripening on rye mats made of reed.
