St. Albray soft cheese

St. Albray is a distinctive flower-shaped soft-ripened cheese that originated in the Pyrénées region of France. Known for its mild flavor and orange-tinted washed rind, it was first created in 1974 to offer a softer alternative to more pungent local cheeses.

Historically, the brand was developed by Bongrain SA, which later evolved into the Savencia Fromage & Dairy group. Today, St. Albray remains a flagship product manufactured primarily in French facilities located in the Aquitaine region. The brand is owned by Savencia SA, a major global player in the dairy industry headquartered in Viroflay, France, ensuring the product maintains its traditional French heritage while being distributed internationally.
