About

Saint Maure is made as a roll with a straw cane through its center. The straw is intended to facilitate handling of the delicate cheese and helps air flow through the cheese’s core in the first days of aging. The straw is removed at the end of the aging process, before packing. Another special characteristic of Saint Maure is the lactic fermentation that it undergoes during manufacturing, without use of bacteria. When it ripens, the coating becomes dry and hard, and the inner part of the cheese becomes soft and almost liquid.
