To serve
Let it ripen and eat it with a spoon, straight from the pot.

To drink
A light red from the Rhône, or a white from Savoie.

Goes with
A lighter dinner, such as a roast free-range chicken. Rich, soft and gentle, it is a cheese to finish a simple meal rather than a heavy one.

Why does it come in a ceramic pot?

When ripe, the centre becomes so soft it almost runs. The pot holds its shape and lets you serve it at the table.

Can I bake it?

Yes. Baked, it turns warm and molten, ideal for dipping. (Bake in its pot at 180°C for 10 to 15 minutes.)

What can I do with the pot afterwards?

Wash it and keep it. It makes a good ramekin or small serving dish.

What should I drink with it?

A light red, such as a Beaujolais or Côtes du Rhône. A tawny port works too. For an alcohol-free match, Saicho Osmanthus Sparkling Tea. Its apricot notes and fine bubbles cut through the cream.

In the volcanic heart of Auvergne, France

The Auvergne sits high in the Massif Central, a landscape of extinct volcanoes and upland pasture. The soil is rich in minerals, the grass is dense, and dairy farming has shaped the region for centuries. It is the home of five PDO cheeses, including Fourme d’Ambert.

Saint-Félicien was first made on the other side of the Rhône, as the larger, richer relation of Saint-Marcellin. Here it is made with Auvergne milk, enriched with cream and left to ripen until the centre can be eaten with a spoon.
