  Saint Nectaire Cheese -- French Cheeses
The cheese generally comes in wheels weighing approximately 1.5kg, each of which is made with 12 to 13 litres of milk.
The cheese is pressed, which serves to give it a firm texture, then it is ripened in a cool place for approximately one week.
Following this ripening, the cheese is further "matured" on a bed of rye straw for six more weeks, with regular turning and scraping of the rind.

In Auvergne, cheeses are part of the heritage, as much as Romanesque churches and thermal springs.
Cheeses are also the most ancient spokespersons of the region since the former Arverne people started making them and the Romans were struck by the quality of the Massif Central cheeses.
In the 16th century, the development of farms together with the transhumance that characterises the Aubrac and Cantal Mountains meant that farmers opted for larger sized cheeses, combining the production of “gléo” during the winter (when less milk was available) and “jouhanal” (an ancestor of Cantal cheese) with the greater milk production of the summer.

 Il Forno: Wine, no cheese?
One possible explanation proposed for this effect is that cheese protein binds the aroma molecule in wine or that the fat in the cheese may coat the taste buds decreasing the sensibility to wine flavours.
Cheese masks the subtle flavours that mark out a good wine, so your guests won't be able to tell that you are serving them cheap stuff.
Cheese might mask the fine flavours of wine but compare the effect of pairing a good Bordeaux Cru Bourgeois and a cheap everyday Cabernet Sauvignon with a good Saint Nectaire cheese and the difference will be evident.

 The sensory quality of Saint-Nectaire cheese is determined both in the cheese factory and in the cowshed   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The milk produced by the animals of each of these two systems was processed into Saint-Nectaire type cheese according to two cheesemaking technologies: one similar to that used by farm producers (with whole milk), the other similar to that used in dairy factories (with partially skimmed milk).
The effect of the processing technology is the most important: the farmhouse cheeses are more melting (probably due to a later acidification of the cheese) and have a more pronounced taste and aromas.
These differences influence essentially the physico-chemical characteristics of the cheeses and their texture: fattier and firmer for those originating from silage-fed Holstein cows and more melting for those from hay-fed Montbéliarde cows.
