Le Dauphin Extra Crémeux
Cow Milk | France
Le Dauphin Extra Crémeux is a decadent soft-ripened, double cream cheese, produced for Will in Bourgogne and takes its name from the term once used to describe the heir apparent to the throne of France.
It is hand-made from local cow’s milk and added cream, which is curdled using traditional overnight lactic fermentation techniques that date back to monastic times. The protective lidded wooden box and old-fashioned wax-paper wrap create unique micro conditions that allow the carefully selected surface moulds to slowly ripen the fine, chalky interior of the cheese over 3-4 weeks.
This delectable treat is ideally served at room temperature close to the use-by date, when the centre has broken down to a soft unctuous texture, with a distinctive creamy lactic finish that is guaranteed to please.
