Délice de Pommard is a fresh Burgundian cheese rolled in mustard seed, referencing Pommard, the celebrated wine village of the Côte de Beaune. The mustard coating gives it an immediately recognizable speckled brown exterior.

Flavor Profile

The cheese beneath is fresh, soft, and mild with a clean lactic tang and a creamy texture. The mustard seed crust delivers a sharp, pungent, warming bite that contrasts strongly against the mildness of the paste. The two elements work in opposition rather than blending, which is the appeal.

How to Serve

Serve at room temperature on a board, where the mustard-crusted exterior makes an immediate visual impression. Slice it so each portion includes the crust. It spreads well on bread and pairs naturally with charcuterie.

Pairing Suggestions

Pair with a light white wine such as Aligoté, a Burgundy, or a crisp lager. Serve with cured meats, cornichons, dark bread, and pickled vegetables.

Storage

Wrap loosely and refrigerate. As a fresh cheese, consume within one to two weeks.
