Saint André cheese is a triple-cream cow's milk cheese from the Normandy region of France, named after the town of Saint-André-sur-Orne. It is a soft, triple-cream cheese with a smooth, velvety texture and a high-fat content of 75%, attributed to the addition of cream. This richness makes it dense, buttery, and flavorful with a hint of tanginess. The pale ivory-coloured cheese is covered with a thin, edible, bloomy rind. Saint André is not aged for an extended period; it is a fresh cheese meant to be enjoyed relatively young.
