About Triple Crème Cheese
Triple Crème cheese is a rich and indulgent variety that originated in France, though it's now made in various regions worldwide. It has a high fat content, typically above 75% in the dry matter, making it exceptionally creamy and buttery. The moisture content is around 50-60%, which adds to its lush texture. This cheese has a mild, slightly tangy flavor that melts in the mouth, making it a favorite for those who enjoy soft and creamy cheeses. The rind is soft and edible, contributing to the overall experience. Triple Crème is often found in small wheels or wedges, perfect for serving on a cheese platter. It's a luxurious choice for pairing with fresh fruit or a glass of sparkling wine.
