Crème d’Or Simply Gourmet is a soft-ripened cheese in the enriched, bloomy-rind tradition, made with added cream for a fuller, more luxurious result. The name references its golden richness, and it belongs to the family of premium soft cheeses designed for entertaining.

Flavor Profile

The paste is exceptionally smooth and creamy beneath a delicate white bloomy rind, softening toward spreadable at room temperature. The flavor is mild, buttery, and gently sweet with a clean dairy finish and only a whisper of tang. There is no sharpness, which makes it broadly accessible.

How to Serve

Serve at room temperature so the texture reaches full softness. Spread it on crusty bread or crackers, or serve it as the approachable centerpiece of a board. It also bakes well, warming into a flowing centerpiece for dipping.

Pairing Suggestions

Pair with a Champagne, a Chardonnay, or a sparkling rosé. Serve with fresh berries, honey, fig preserves, and toasted nuts.

Storage

Wrap loosely in wax paper and refrigerate. As a rich soft cheese, consume within ten days to two weeks of cutting.
