Description
Brillat Savarin is a triple cream cheese from Normandy in France. This means it is made from double cream and full fat milk. It was invented in the 1930s and named after the gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat Savarin. Who was known for his love of fine food and drink. So this particular French cheese is a relative newcomer to the cheese pantheon.
A matured Brillat-Savarin has a white, bloomy rind with a centre that is buttery-white in colour. The texture of this cheese is dense, moist, and slightly chalky. It has creamy buttery flavours with hints of nuts and earthiness.
We love to serve it with fresh summer fruits such as peaches and strawberries. Or even better, drizzle it with a little of our Truffle Honey for a decadent treat.
Cheese and Wine Pairing
As Brillat is so creamy, it needs some bubbles to brighten it up. The natural acidity found in Champagne and sparkling wine will both cut through this richness so why not try this cheese with a lovely chilled glass of Bollinger or our gorgeous Organic Prosecco.
Our Brillat Savarin is the perfect gift for any cheese lover and makes a great addition to any cheese board.
