I like both hard a soft cheese and you'd think that after several years of living in France I'd have eaten all the cheese there was and, frankly, had had enough of the stuff.
Amongst my favourites, when we were there, was a lovely creamy Brillat-Savarin which from experience has to be eaten 'young,' when it is fresh and creamy but it wasn't always available in the local Carrefour and this gave it an extra caché. I'm not sure you can get it here.
Anyway, apart from a lovely creamy Lancashire cheese that we've recently tried, we have found a new French cheese (or at least one that we've never tried before) at our local supermarket, Booths.
Délice de Bourgogne is similar to the Brillat-Savarin and equally as nice and looking at the 'recipes' for the two cheeses the similarity is that the texture is creamy and that they add cream in the process.
You won't be disappointed.
The Brillat-Savarin that Alex liked was the fresh variety, not the Brie type cheese that he links to. Just thought I'd correct him!!
ReplyDeleteYou see boys there's no hiding place.
ReplyDeleteI'll look for it. But that's a bit spooky. We just came in from Glasgow after picking up a French cheese we love and couldn't get here. We had to special order it. So my next post is going to be about cheese too.
ReplyDeleteSpooooky!
Just trying to stay one step ahead of you Craig.
