Fromagerie du Dauphiné - Tentation de Saint-Félicien (France, 6 oz.)

Fromagerie du Dauphiné Tentation de Saint-Félicien — Rhône-Alpes, France | 6 oz.

Tentation de Saint-Félicien is one of France’s most indulgent soft cheeses — and one of the most irresistible things on our cheese counter. Produced in the Rhône-Alpes by Fromagerie du Dauphiné, the celebrated makers of Saint-Marcellin and Saint-Félicien, this ultra-creamy cow’s milk cheese was originally crafted to make use of surplus cream and has since become a gourmet staple in its own right. Lush, silky, and impossibly rich, it delivers the elegance of a premium French soft cheese in a perfectly portioned 6 oz. format. Best enjoyed at room temperature, when its texture becomes spoonable and its flavors fully bloom.

The rind is natural and bloomy, giving way to a cloud-soft, yielding interior. The aroma is fresh and milky with a gentle earthiness. On the palate, it is rich and luscious without being heavy — a delicate tang balanced by a long, buttery finish that lingers with quiet elegance. It melts on the tongue and leaves you wanting more.
