Description
A decadent triple cream cheese made by Fromagerie Lincet in the Burgundy region of France. Rich and full flavoured with a smooth, velvety, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Delice de Bourgogne is made by adding creme fraiche to full fat cows milk. It has a white, bloomy rind with a mushroomy aroma that contrasts nicely against the buttery, tangy notes of the paste.
It sits alongside other classic French cheeses such as Brillat Savarin and Explorateur. It resembles a brie in appearance, but that is where the similarity ends: this one delivers an extra triple cream punch. Best enjoyed when it is running off the plate.
How much to buy
A whole Delice de Bourgogne weighs approximately 1.8kg.
All cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can and happy to offer advice on purchasing the right amount if you are unsure. If you would like a price for larger weights or whole cheeses, please call us.
Delivery
We send our cheese by Royal Mail Tracked 24, with next-day delivery available across all UK postcodes for £4.99 per parcel. Orders over £60 qualify for free delivery.
We carefully pack every order to help keep your cheese in the best possible condition during transit. Royal Mail are very reliable, and most parcels arrive within 24 hours, but occasional delays can happen.
If you’re ordering cheese for a special occasion, party or event, we recommend having it delivered a couple of days beforehand. This gives you some extra time in case of an unexpected courier delay and allows the cheese to rest and reach its best before serving.
We currently deliver throughout the UK but do not offer international delivery.
How We Pack Your Cheese
Every order is cut and packed by hand, fresh to order by our team of cheesemongers.
Your cheese is wrapped in breathable waxed paper, which allows it to breathe while helping to protect it during transit and in your fridge. It is then placed inside a thermal foil pouch with a frozen gel pack to keep it cool on its journey. The gel pack will naturally defrost during transit; this is completely normal.
Finally, everything is carefully packed into a branded box to keep your order safe and presentable when it arrives.
We’re also conscious of the environmental impact of packaging. Around 95% of our packaging is recyclable or reusable, and we’re continually looking for ways to reduce waste and make our business more sustainable. We believe great cheese should be enjoyed with consideration for the planet, too.
Recipe / pairing suggestion
Pairing Suggestion – Four Seed Sourdough Crackers
This is a triple-cream cheese that needs a good crunchy platform. The sourdough crackers are perfect for that, top with a little drizzle of thyme honey and you've got heaven on a biscuit right there.
It's an unusual suggestion but I enjoy this cheese spread over a digestive biscuit with a little dollop of strawberry jam on top. It's like a little cheesecake!
