I thought I'd went to heaven on the first bite!!

Comments about Saint Andre:
I've often thought that this cheese would be more consistently good if it was made in wheels only half as high as usual. There's a small window of time when the inside is just slightly crumbly, buttery, and nutty, but the soft, smooth outside layer has not turned to ammonia. If you get this cheese at the perfect time, it's FABULOUS! Underripe, it's ho-hum...overripe, it's cruel! But I'd still say it's worth trying at least once.
Comments about Saint Andre:
I've ordered this cheese once, I'm uncertain about ordering it again. I found it had a bitter flavor or aftertaste. Maybe the one I got was getting overripe or something happened to it.
Due to the price I'm not sure I want to get it again and risk the same thing.

loved it
Comments about Saint Andre:
I really like this cheese, it is so creamy and buttery, and spreads so easily on a cracker. I couldn't quit sampling it.....but had to when we ran out of crackers! The rind is edible, but a bit too strong for me. My 17 year old hated it, my 14 year old said it was "ok", which leaves the rest to me! Haven't introduced it to the husband yet, but he is not all that fond of soft cheeses....
Comments about Saint Andre:
I usually like all bloomy cheeses but it depends on quality when bought. The last Cammebert I bought was loaded with ammonia. It was overripe, obviously and hard to see since it was wrapped and enclosed it it's own wooden case. The Saint Andre was perfect although that too can be over or under ripe, also. It's hit or miss sometimes. I'll continue to eat cheese although prices are getting out of hand. That is influencing my purchases.
Comments about Saint Andre:
Really excellent triple cream. Ok, maybe not the best cheese ever, but I can't see anyone who favors brie-like cheeses not being absolutely thrilled with this.
Extraordinarily delicious.
Comments about Saint Andre:
I wanted something simple and light for before dinner with friends, but somthing that could be a good holder with drinks. I served this on a slice of lightly toasted, but still warm bread with glasses of wine and a tray of fruits. It was wonderful.
The cheese does melt quickly and a little goes a long way.

Comments about Saint Andre:
This cheese is so creamy and mild everyone will love it! It is like melted brie that you don't have to heat up. It looks very nice on a cheese plate too.

Comments about Saint Andre:
I adore all kinds of cheeses and I must say, this takes the cake ! I received it in a gift basket. My family will be seeing this frequently in our fridge !!
Comments about Saint Andre:
If you want to really impress your friends with an unusual cheese that will expand their idea of what "cheese" can be, this is a good one. Unlike some of the camemberts and bries I've tried, the St. Andre from [...] has never had the obnoxious hints of ammonia that some of those have had. It's spreadable with a nice ripened cream flavor, not bitter or sour. It should please any intrepid guests as well as yourself!
Comments about Saint Andre:
This product looks and sounds delicious, and is indeed very creamy, but has an overwhelming muskiness to it, almost like eau de cow. This ruined my enjoyment of the cheese - I like strong flavors, but not ones that remind me of the barnyard.
Comments about Saint Andre:
This is one of the better French cheeses you can get in the States. Everytime I buy it for a party it is one of the first to disappear.

Comments about Saint Andre:
I have gotten this cheese at our local cheese shop. The freshness and quality of what I received from I Gourmet was far above what I can get locally also the price is slightly lower with I Gourmet

Comments about Saint Andre:
I love this cheese - so rich I can hardly eat more than a couple oz. in an evening. All the same, I'd rather it be offered in a larger round. 7 oz. seems too small (also too much rind, too little interior). Please consider offering something closer to a 16 oz size, particularly for larger gatherings.

Surprised how easy it is to spread!
