Saint-Marcellin is a type of soft cheese with a runny interior and a strong flavour originating from the former Dauphiné region of France. It is generally small in size and has a mottled creamy-white exterior. It is about 50% fat and its level of runniness depends on its age. It is similar to Saint-Félicien cheese. Saint-Marcellin cheese is named after the city of Saint-Marcellin.
