Day Three Hundred and Thirty Three - A triple cream for a day of 3s...

As it is the three hundred and thirty third day of my cheese musings I thought I would continue with the tradition of 3s and introduce you all to a fabulous French triple cream cheese that is PURE and UTTER decadence, the exact opposite of what you probably want to ingest if you are on a New Year's diet. But that being said, this is like ice cream in cheese form.

Pierre Robert was the brain child of a team of cheese makers who had made their living crafting Brillat Savarin. It is made with cow's milk that is then further enriched with cream with a natural rind, in the style of a Brillat-Savarin, yet this is aged allowing the bloomy, mushroomy flavors to develop. Mild, milky, unctuous, buttery, with a fabulously round and silky smooth mouth feel.

Pierre Robert stands out from other triple creams as it is aged for longer than its counterparts allowing this cheese to develop a unique flavor profile. If you are looking for a cheese to enjoy for a special occasion in the New Year with a glass of bubbly, this is your guy.
