Brillat-Savarin Affiné is a classic French triple cream cheese named after the famed gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. Produced from cow’s milk enriched with cream, this indulgent cheese is then further aged, or “affiné,” to develop greater depth of flavor and a more pronounced character compared to its fresher counterpart.
The texture is exceptionally smooth and velvety, becoming soft and almost spreadable as it ripens. Beneath its delicate bloomy rind, the paste reveals rich notes of butter, cream, and cultured milk, with a subtle tang and slight mushroom undertone that intensifies with age. The affinage process gives this version a more complex aroma and a fuller, more developed flavor profile than standard Brillat-Savarin.
Elegant and luxurious, Brillat-Savarin Affiné is a standout on any cheese board. Serve it at room temperature to fully appreciate its creamy texture and nuanced flavor, paired simply with fresh bread or fruit for a refined, indulgent experience.
