Double Crème Brie with Truffles

"Trader Jacques double crème brie with truffles is a decadent cheese made with real French truffles. This cheese is made by a family-owned cheese manufacturer in the village of Pelussin in the heart of the Rhone-Alps region of France where the world famous Cotes du Rhone wine production occurs. The cheese is made using technology called ultrafiltration, a process that removes the water from pasteurized milk, concentrating the nutrients, proteins and fat; delivering a truly creamy and delicious cheese. Truffles are a sought after delicacy that impart complex flavors to food. Our truffle brie is made with actual bonafide truffle shavings, not the truffle oil or extract found in other “truffle-flavored” cheeses. This recipe delivers a rich and authentic truffle flavor, soft and smooth texture and a pleasant earthy finish. The creamy, buttery cheese provides a rich back drop for the earthy, slightly salty truffle flavor. Our tasting panel went through many versions of this cheese to perfect the ripeness, texture, salt level and the right balance of truffles."
