Brillat-Savarin is a luxurious French triple-crème cheese named after the famous 18th-century gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. Extra cream is added to the milk before production, pushing the butterfat content above 70% and creating one of the richest, most indulgent cheeses in the world.

Flavor Profile

Brillat-Savarin is outrageously rich, with a smooth, buttery, and slightly tangy flavor. The texture is dense, creamy, and almost mousse-like. The bloomy white rind is delicate and fully edible. This is a cheese of pure luxury, designed for those who find standard Brie too mild.

How to Serve

Serve at room temperature with minimal accompaniments so the cheese’s extraordinary richness can shine. It pairs beautifully with a simple drizzle of honey, fresh berries, or champagne. Perfect for celebrations, date nights, and special occasions.

Pairing Suggestions

Pair with Champagne (the classic pairing), Sauternes, or a sparkling rosé. The effervescence cuts through the richness perfectly. Serve with fresh berries, light crackers, and edible flowers for an elegant presentation.
