Saint Albray is a soft cow's milk cheese from France. It is a modern creamery cheese, not an old farmhouse wheel with a long village history. The paste is mild and creamy, and the rind is washed until it turns a warm orange brown. Makers shape the large cheese like a flower, with petals around an open center. A smaller version keeps a solid middle and is easier to cut for one household.
