Amira's friend Gabby brought this treat to Amira's birthday dinner
along with an impudent bottle of Malbec. It's Delice de Bourgogne,
a triple cream cheese made from cow's milk in Burgundy, France.
Get it if you can...it truly doesn't get any better than this.
Incidentally,Gabby bought it at Whole Foods, and I found it at a
much-smaller local shop, Plum Market, so clearly the word is
spreading about this gem. This means that even if you live in a
backwater state such as New Jersey, Florida, or Maryand,
you can still probably find it.

Best to let it sit out for 30 or 40 minutes and then to slather it
on chunks of a very crispy baguette washed down with your
favorite beverage (wine is preferred, but this stuff would taste
remarkable paired even with tap water).

Bon appetit!
UPDATE, 6/11/12: Mavourneen texted that she found it at Trader
Joe's! Amazing. I'd never heard of it until May 21st. Now I'm
learning that it's everywhere, it's everywhere....
Is it soft like Velveeta?
ReplyDeleteEven softer! This despite not containing whey, whey protein concentrate, milk protein concentrate, various added bacterial agents, the emulsifier alginate (detrived from brown algae), sodium citrate, sodium phosphate, annatto (a yellow-orange color additive), and apocarotenal (another orange color additive). Of course, you DO pay extra for not having all the oddball ingredients famously found in Velveeta, but as they say in France..."C'est la vie."
ReplyDeleteYUM!
