 | Description: Originally a version of Banon, a cheese from Provence that is dipped in white wine and wrapped in chestnut leaves, St. Marcellin is now a cheese all its own. Handmade in Provence in the Dauphiné region, this wonderful little cheese is rindless and made from 100% local cow's milk. Intensely creamy, nutty and complex in flavor, St. Marcellin is one of those rare cheeses that takes you back to its homeland. Still similar to Banon, yet minus the chestnut leaves, St. Marcellin is a bit creamier and forceful than its leaf-cloaked cousin.

Wine Pairings:
| Pinot Gris: Clean, light and refreshing. The floral tones of the wines, especially the nose, match with the hints of green grass in the cheese.
| |
| Gavi: The high acid, peach and vanilla tones of the wine engage the creamy, savory lushness of the cheese. The light sparkle in the wine cuts right through the butterfat.
