Saint Paulin is a semi-soft French cheese made from pasteurized cow’s milk, originally crafted by Trappist monks in the Saint-Paulin monastery. This cheese is known for its smooth, elastic texture and mild, creamy flavor with subtle tangy notes. It has a thin, moist rind with a slightly orange hue, which is edible and contributes to its distinctive appearance.


Saint Paulin is similar to cheeses like Havarti and Esrom, making it a great pairing with fruits and light wines. Its naturally mild taste makes it versatile for various culinary applications, from cheese platters to sandwiches and salads. The 200g packaging is perfect for tasting or sharing, allowing you to enjoy the authentic taste of traditional French cheese.
