Sainte Maure is one of the classic cheeses from France.
Sainte Maure, made from raw or pasteurised goat's milk, is produced mainly in Loire Valley in middle France. This buttery, smooth cheese with little acidic flavour emerges drier, denser, and a fine grey-blue edible rind.
Sainte Maure comes in various shapes like a small log with a stick running through its middle, pyramids, cylinders and discs. These are exported to the US. The Sainte Maure goes well with wines such as Sauvignon Blanc, Fumé Blanc, Sancerre and many white wines.
