Saint-Paulin | Local Cheese From Brittany, France | TasteAtlas

Saint-Paulin

Saint-Paulin is a French semi-soft cheese made from cow’s milk, originating from the region of Bretagne. It was originally produced by Trappist monks. Underneath its washed rind, there is a white-colored body with a creamy and firm texture and milky aromas.


Its flavor is best described as nutty and buttery. Although the rind is edible, most people don’t consume it because it is quite dry and rough. It is recommended to pair Saint-Paulin with a glass of Riesling or Beaujolais.
