When happening upon a wedge of our latest Spotlight Cheese, Saint Paulin, at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s, the first thing that will likely catch your eye is its signature golden-orange rind. Like its culinary cousin Port Salut, Saint Paulin was originally created by Trappist monks in France, and its vibrant exterior is an artifact of the traditional cheesemaking methods that are still employed in its production. As the cheese ages, it’s washed in brine to increase the presence of a particular bacteria strain, which creates an enzyme that helps each wheel of Saintt Paulin develop its mild, buttery flavor, and rich, floral aroma—and also just happens to leave a vibrantly ruddy hue.
Delectably creamy, with a smooth, semisoft consistency and totally edible rind (another benefit of the brine washing process), our Saint Paulin makes an attractive addition to any charcuterie board or cheese plate. We find that it’s especially suited for pairing with sweeter flavors, like fresh cut fruit, Fig Butter, or our Spicy Honey Sauce. For an elevated take on comfort food fare, try slicing it and adding it to a grilled cheese, panini, or patty melt.
