Cheese - Saint Angel

DESCRIPTION

Imagine if cream cheese was reincarnated as a fromage and you would have Saint Angel.  This triple crème cheese has a unique, square shape.  Made from the milk of cows grazing in the mountain meadows of the Rhone-Alps, it looks somewhat similar to brie with its' white fleurie.  Cream is adding during the production process giving it a much more buttery taste.  With its smooth paste and edible rind, it's very friendly to those new to cheese but it also works extremely well as a cooking ingredient.

STORAGE TIPS

Refrigerate preferably in its own drawer close to where most of the produce is kept.  After each time that you slice the cheese, re-wrap it with fresh plastic wrap to extend the shelf life.  While some chefs will freeze a slice of blue and then grate it over a salad before serving, Chef's Mandala doesn't recommend freezing cheeses in general.
