Handcrafted in Bali, this artisanal cheese pays homage to the iconic Saint-Nectaire of France while embracing the unique terroir of Indonesia. Made using traditional French techniques and the same microbial cultures found in the original Auvergne variety, Saint-Nectaire Bali offers a remarkable fusion of authenticity and local character.
Aged on natural straw mats in a controlled environment that mimics the cool, humid caves of central France, the cheese develops a supple, creamy paste beneath its signature washed rind. The aroma is earthy and pungent, with hints of tropical vegetation subtly woven into its profile—an echo of the Balinese landscape. On the palate, it delivers a rich, nutty flavor with gentle notes of mushroom, hay, and a whisper of spice, reflecting both its European heritage and its Southeast Asian birthplace.
This cheese is a testament to cross-cultural craftsmanship—where tradition meets innovation, and where Bali’s artisanal spirit breathes new life into a centuries-old French classic.
