Delice de Bourgogne is a classic triple creme cheese, much in the style of Brillat Savarin or Explorateur.
Triple cream cheese is made by adding fresh cream, or creme fraiche, to full-fat cow's milk - creating incredibly rich, full-flavoured but mellow cheese with a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
The rind of Delice de Bourgogne is white and bloomy as a result of the Penicilium Candidum mould, similar to Brie de Meaux. The interior paste is ivory-white-creamy in color and the texture is velvety and smooth, becoming softer and more runny towards the rind as the cheese matures.
Flavours are rich, creamy and buttery with a creme fraiche-like tang, and notes of lemon and mushrooms.
Delice de Bourgogne pairs very well with Champagne.
