Saint-Félicien is a French cheese from the Dauphiné.
It is a close cousin of another Dauphiné cheese, the Saint-Marcellin. It owes its name to the place on which the store of the cheese maker who made it was located.
It was originally made with goat's milk, but now it is more often made with cow's milk. It has a soft paste with a bloomy rind and an average weight of 180 grams.
It is best eaten from April to September after a maturing period of 4 to 6 weeks, but it is also excellent from March to December. It is milder and creamier than Saint-Marcellin.
Not to be confused with the original Saint-Félicien ardéchois, a goat's cheese known as "soft curd" from the village of Saint-Félicien in Ardèche.
