Brillat-Savarin Affiné
Triple-Crème French Cheese, Aged to Perfection
Contents: Soft, bloomy-rind cow’s milk cheese with 75% fat in dry matter
Product Description
Brillat-Savarin Affiné is an exquisite triple-crème cheese from the Île-de-France or Burgundy regions, named after the famed French gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin.
