Saint Marcellin is one of Lyons most popular Cheeses. If not taking pride of place on a cheeseboard, they are baked in the oven and the warm disks onto slid onto salads and the like.
To celebrate this cheese in all its glory, it can be lightly warmed in the oven, a task for which its little crock is perfectly suited. Just slide it into a moderately hot oven for a few minutes and serve it with our crusty French bread or your favourite crackers here. Another popular option is to serve St Mercellin cheese paired with crisp, fresh fruit, such as apples, persimmons, or pears. It loves a tart or gently astringent flavour partnership, which highlights the earthiness of the cheese along with its sublime texture.
