Named after the famous French gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin this triple cream cheese is the pinnacle of indulgence. Known for its decadent texture, the addition of cranberries adds a delightful sweetness and tangy twist to this luxurious ingredient.
The base of Brillat Savarin is made from cow's milk and has a high-fat content, giving it its characteristic creamy and velvety texture. The addition of cranberries creates a beautiful contrast in both flavor and texture. The sweet and slightly tart berries add bursts of fruity flavor that complement the rich and buttery taste of the cheese. The vibrant red cranberries also provide an eye-catching visual appeal, making it an attractive addition to any cheese plate or dessert spread.
A versatile ingredient, this cranberry cheese can be enjoyed in myriad ways. It pairs well with crusty bread or crackers. It can also be used as a dessert cheese, served alongside fresh fruits, or as a topping for pastries like scones or crepes. The creamy and slightly tangy nature of this Brillat Savarin pairs nicely with sparkling wines, such as Champagne or Prosecco. It can also be enjoyed with sweeter wines like Riesling, enhancing the fruity notes of the cranberries.
