We love the Herme Mons Camembert, so when we saw this triple creme at Whole Foods, it was a no-brainer to pick it up. This cheese is something special. It was perfectly ripe without even a hint of ammonia, meltingly soft and tender, with a range of textures. It was ever so softly ripe and pungent in a way that we wish we could find more cheeses. This St. Nuage was an absolute pleasure to eat. We served it to a group of discerning palates (i.e., chefs) on pizza night, and they seemed equally happy to taste it with crackers and sliced local peaches. And again on a pizza paired with roasted onions, bacon, and arugula. It was everything we love in a cheese: smooth, creamy, subtle, and assertive, all in one delicious bite. If we can secure more and hold ourselves in check, we will explore using it in a ravioli filling and to make ice cream.
