Saint-Nectaire cheese is a cow's milk cheese produced in the Massif Central region in France. Its dough is firm and creamy, and its crust is gray and slightly damp. Its flavor is soft and slightly fruity, with notes of hazelnut and curd milk. The Saint-Nectaire is an unsuccessful pressed cheese, which means that its dough is not heated before being molded. Its crust is naturally damp and can be covered with gray or blue mold. This humid crust gives it a distinctive texture and flavor.
