St-Paulin Léger

Semi-firm cheese with a washed rind, with a mild lactic and fruity smell, and flavors of hazelnuts and salted butter.

Its paste ranges from cream to pale yellow, is supple and elastic.

It is slightly firmer than regular Saint-Paulin and has a more subtle taste of fresh milk and yogurt.

Cheese preservation

Interior ripened cheese, Interior ripened cheese

To best preserve interior-ripened, store them in the fridge between 2-4 degrees in the paper provided.

The paper will get malleable every time it is unwrapped but will not lose its efficiency to keep the cheese fresh. It is very normal that a layer of white mold grows on the paste of the cheese, this is the natural process of the rind trying to form.

This mold is not harmful; you may remove a thin slice and keep consuming the cheese. The cheese will keep for 3-4 weeks refrigerated.

Preservation
  • “OMG. What can I say.”

    OMG. What can I say. I’ve known this place from 25 yrs ago. We kept going back despite the renovations and building of the new store. They keep expanding their offer. Great cheeses and more. They started selling fresh bread and jams many years back. The secret is out. On a Thursday afternoon in September people still queue up with a shopping list for their friends and family. They’ve setup a few picnic tables and additional parking to accommodate the masses. Come early come quick come often!!!

  • “Great stop 5 minutes from the U.S. border!”

    Love this place. They produce a number of excellent cheeses. It is a very nice shop with a cheese tasting room, baguettes and other breads available, and other cheese related foods. The friendly staff is bi-lingual which makes tasting and shopping easy. If you like great cheese go to Fromagerie Fritz Kaiser – just 5 minutes above Alburgh, Vermont.
