Saint Agur Cheese

Saint Agur is a blue-veined cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk in the village of Beauzac in the mountainous French region of Auvergne. Since 1988, the Bongrain cheese company, now known as Savencia Fromage & Dairy, has been producing this double-cream cheese. Ripened for 60 days in controlled temperature and moisture conditions, it develops a creamy texture with a sharp, fruity yet mellow taste. Its creaminess allows it to melt and spread easily, making it ideal as a dip for crunchy vegetables or in gourmet sauce recipes. Saint Agur pairs well with a variety of wines, such as Brouilly, Jurançon, Porto, Chardonnay, Syrah, or Banyuls, and complements fruits like walnuts, pears, and figs.
