FAQs
What does it taste like?

Mild, rich and buttery, with fresh cream and a light saltiness. It is one of the gentlest cheeses in our range.

What should I drink with it?

Champagne is the classic pairing. The bubbles and acidity cut through the richness. For an alcohol-free match, try Saicho Osmanthus Sparkling Tea. Its apricot notes and fine bubbles do the same job.

Does it go with truffle?

Very well. Shave fresh black truffle over it just before serving. Or slice it in half horizontally, layer thin slices of truffle inside, wrap it and leave it in the fridge for a day.

What is a triple-cream cheese?
  1. A cheese made from milk enriched with cream. To be called triple-cream in France, it must have at least 75% fat in its dry matter. The result is a dense, buttery paste. The Explorateur has 38g of fat in every 100g.

  • Triple Cream from Brie Country, France

Seine-et-Marne is the dairy land east of Paris, the same rich plateau that gave the world Brie. The pastures are green and the milk is plentiful, and the region's dairies have long had the cream to spare.

In the twentieth century, cheesemakers here took the local tradition of soft cheese further. They enriched the milk with cream, creating the triple crème. The Explorateur is one of the original triple creams of the region: small, dense and buttery, made where Paris has always come for its cheese.
