BUCHE
D'AFFINOIS

FRANCE

Made by the exceptional Fromagerie Guilloteau, this crowd pleasing double cream can do no wrong. Similar to your brie in appearance and texture, but instead the milk undergoes a production Calle ultrafiltration before cheese-making. This method allows the cheese to ripen at a faster rate compared to Brie. It also gives the cheese a higher fat content, making it super creamy, buttery and oozy. It's one of our favourite cheeses for a reason...

Enjoy your D'affinois after it sits in room temperature for 30 mins. Then relish its creaminess with a side of the muscatel clusters. If you have fresh strawberries handy, or quince paste, these also compliment the cheese.
