Selected by Will Studd, Brillat Savarin Triple Cream Cheese, Imported from France

Specifications

About this product

Will Studd Brillat Savarin is handmade in Burgundy, France. At first glance, it looks like a tall compact wheel of Brie, packaged in a charming wooden box. Unlike Brie, however, this is an artisan triple-cream cheese, which means the cow’s milk has been enriched with high-quality cream. It has a buttery and deliciously creamy flavor and finishes off with a gentle tang. This indulgent triple-creme cheese is the perfect party pleaser, pairing beautifully with champagne or sparkling wine. Recommended for a romantic night in, a festive celebration, or any time you get the cheese board out! Brillat Savarin is selected by Will Studd. It takes its name from the famous 18th century French food writer Brillat Savarin, and was originally created in the 1950s by Parisian affineur, Pierre Androuet. This example from Burgundy is unique because, unlike industrial versions, it was ripened under a thin coat of wrinkled yellow Geotrichum mold naturally found in unpasteurized cow’s milk. This mold is rarely used because it is hard to wrap, but the poplar wooden box creates the ideal moist micro-climate for it to thrive.
