Triple-Crème is an artisanal cheese produced by the company Fromagerie Germain. This cheese is known for its rich, creamy texture and high butterfat content, making it exceptionally decadent and smooth.
The name "Triple-Crème" denotes that this cheese must contain at least 75% butterfat in its dry matter, contributing to its luxurious mouthfeel. Not only does Triple-Crème cheese offer a sumptuous experience, but it also provides a mild, slightly tangy flavor that pairs well with a variety of fruits, nuts, and wines often enjoyed as a dessert cheese.
Producer
Fromagerie Germain is a renowned French creamery with a rich tradition dating back to 1921, when Henri Germain established the dairy in Chalancey, in eastern France. Over more than a century, this family-owned company has become synonymous with premium cheeses bearing Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) labels.
Their cheeses are crafted from carefully selected milk, adhering to traditional methods of aging and processing. For instance, Époisses AOP is known for its creamy texture and intense flavor, while Langres AOP features a distinctive hollow top traditionally filled with Champagne or Marc de Bourgogne before serving.
Despite modernization, Fromagerie Germain remains true to its roots, collaborating with local farmers and using milk from rare cow breeds to ensure the authenticity and quality of its products.
