Champagne, anyone? Brillat Savarin is one of the single best accompaniments for sparkling wine, be it Champagne, Prosecco, or a California sparkling white.
This is a triple-crème cheese, with a dry volume butterfat content around 75%. Cakey at room temperature, the cheese melts into liquid on the tongue, where it begs for effervescent bubbles to cut the fat. Our Brillat Savarin usually arrives around 6-8 weeks old with a thin, edible, white bloomy rind. The paste is irresistibly soft and spreadable, like a sensual butter that can’t wait to get on the baguette. Mild, sweet and faintly tangy, this is a great pairing with fresh berries, toasted hazelnuts and dried dates.
