Sainte-Maure de Touraine
saint moor duh too rain
This goat's milk cheese has a fresh aroma of hay and a lemony, acidic taste. Easy to recognize by the rye straw impaled in the cheese and covered with a combination of ash and salt. The more aged the Sainte-Maure, the firmer and flakier it gets. Perfect with dry white wines.
