Double Crème cheeses score high with cheese lovers, but did you know that the Monsieur Gustav range includes three varieties that look and taste different? Learn more about these super smooth cheeses so you can pick your favourite or indulge in all three!
No two ways about it, Monsieur Gustav Double Crème is the cream of the crop. Its soft texture and extra rich taste will butter up cheese enthusiasts everywhere.
This refined cheese comes in three equally delicious variations.
Double Crème Bloomy Rind owes its name to the soft white rind that is obtained through contact with mold during the cheesemaking process. This soft cheese is surface ripened, which simply means that ripening (the final step) starts on the surface and progresses inward. This results in the characteristic rind of this cheese.
Double Crème Bloomy Rind is both rich and delicate in taste. It features notes of melted butter and hot milk.
You can’t miss the attractive Double Crème Red Rind! The bright colour of this surface-ripened cheese is due to bacteria growing on the surface that develop when brine salted. Consequently, it tastes a little stronger than the bloomy rind.
Double Crème Red Rind is aromatic and creamy. It presents notes of melted butter and nutty aromas.
With its fine blue-green veins and mushroom taste, Double Crème Blue Veined never fails to impress. Its distinct aroma comes from mold added during cheesemaking. This cheese is smooth on the palate, and its rind is rather thin. It combines the best of Blue cheese and Double Crème!
Double Crème Blue Veined is ultra-creamy, with a mild mushroom taste.
No matter the flavour, Double Crème can be enjoyed any time of the day, with or without company. Make it the star of your cheeseboard for happy hour or the hero of your crudités dish for a quiet evening on your own.
If possible, remember to take the cheese out of the fridge about an hour before eating. It will be all the creamier and delicious!
