This delightful variation of the classic offers a silky texture and a mild flavor with a tart finish, thanks to the addition of cranberries.
Triple creme cheeses are made by injecting heavy cream into already lush rounds of cheese before the curd is fully formed. This gives the cheese a fat content unparalleled by other cheeses. French law mandates that for a cheese to be considered and labeled ‘triple creme’ it must have at least 75% butterfat. To understand the appeal of creating a cheese with this level of fat content one must travel back in time to when being ‘fat’ was a visible sign of affluence. Cheesemakers capitalized on wealthy buyer’s vanity by making a cheese higher in fat than any that had come before it, and so emerged the first triple cremes. Today these fantastic rich cheeses are still adored, not as a status symbol but instead for their smooth spreadable texture and mild nutty flavor. Spread them on anything from crackers to a toasted baguette for a delicious snack or breakfast. Add them onto a sandwich or panini for added richness, or melt them into a variety of dishes for that extra touch of cream. We have an excellent selection of these buttery cheeses from classic choices like our Brillat Savarin and Trillium to flavored cheeses like the truffle-infused Cremeux des Citeaux or the Regal de Bourgogne aux Moutarde de Meaux with its coating of cracked mustard seeds. No matter what you try, rest assured that these luxurious cheeses will complement and enhance anything they’re added to.
