FAQs
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.

  • Below the Alps in Isère, France

The Isère sits where the Rhône valley meets the first slopes of the Alps. The climate is mild and the valleys are green, good country for dairy herds. For generations, farms here made small soft cheeses, eaten young rather than stored.

This is the home of Saint-Marcellin, and Saint-Félicien is its larger, richer relation. Both were made for the markets of Lyon, an hour away, where they are still a fixture at the table. The cream-enriched milk and soft texture belong to a region that eats its cheese fresh and ripe.
