Story: St. Andre is perhaps the most popular triple cream in the world. Widely available, it is slightly more stable than other triple creams, due to a chalky underripe center which rarely "blonds" (the french word for what triple creams do when fully ripe.) The flavor is akin to cultured butter, and the innocuous rind is perfectly edible. The paste will be yielding, but not runny, with a crumbly chevre like center.

Pairings: Champagne and Pilsner
