Saint-André is a soft cow's milk cheese sold as a French brand. It belongs to the triple cream group, which means extra cream is mixed into the milk before the curd is set. The small wheel has a white bloomy rind and a pale, rich interior. France is the home of the brand, and the cheese is made for the table rather than for a long keep. A ripe piece feels lush and buttery, closer to thick cream than to a firm slicing cheese.
