Délice de Bourgogne –
Triple Delicious
A tribute to french industriel (industrially-made)
cheese-making, this
Délice de Bourgogne (Burgundy)
is executed with flawless craftsmanship and creativity by
Fromagerie Lincet.
This decadent triple-cream cheese was the creation of the
celebrated 18th Century gastronome, Brillat Savarin. He married
full-fat cow’s milk to fresh cream, creating incredibly
rich, full-flavored cheese with a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth
texture.
The remarkably pungent (somewhat moldy) aroma of Delice de
Bourgogne belies the velvet-smooth texture and subtle taste
of this cheese. Similar to the classic Brie both in appearance
and texture, this sumptuous cheese delivers an extra triple-cream
punch to the palate. Its outside is yellowish-white in color,
with a soft, chalk-like dusty rind. The smell can be overpowering
at first, but adds a playful contrast to the sweet and creamy
interior. The first layer is soft and smooth and stark white
in color.
The first layer is soft and smooth and stark white in color,
but as you approach the center, Delice’s texture becomes
thicker and more consistent, comparable to that of cream cheese.
The natural blending of the intensely flavored exterior and
that of the more subtle and soft interior makes Délice
an unusually delicate cheese.
Serving Suggestions: This stellar product makes an elegant
and classic addition to a cheese board. It is easy to spread
into bite-size toast for a provocatively simple appetizer,
and is also sublime when paired with fruit as a dessert cheese
plate. Spread on fresh bread, it transforms a simple snack
into an opulent feast.
For a most memorable Delice experience, procure the freshest
French baguette, slice and toast. Spread some Delice and feast
on this fantastically simple treat before another hectic day
commences.
Drink Suggestions: Serve with Champagne,
a slightly acidic Riesling, or fruity Sauternes.
Keep refrigerated at 39F/46F.
