Saint André is not for anyone scared of fat. It's a triple cream cheese like Explorateur, made from cow's milk enriched with whole cream giving it a butterfat content of at least 75%. That sounds pretty darn good to me. Saint André taste darn good to me too. With its white bloomy rind Saint André resembles brie and it is in the same family, though it is the fat rich uncle to the light young relative.
The name is French for Saint Andrew but refers more to a French administrative region, Saint-André, than the patron saint of Scotland.
