Rodolphe Le Meunier — Crémeux des Cîteaux aux Truffes — France — 7oz
Rodolphe Le Meunier is one of France's most celebrated fromagers-affineurs — a Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF), the highest honor in French craftsmanship — whose cellars in Tours have earned him a reputation as one of the world's great cheese agers. The Crémeux des Cîteaux aux Truffes is among his most indulgent creations: a sumptuous triple-cream cheese, bisected through the center with a generous layer of black truffle shavings. Rich, richer, and richest — this is a cheese that melts on the tongue and lingers in the memory.
The rind is soft and bloomy, giving way to a lush, ivory-white interior of extraordinary creaminess. The paste is buttery and cloud-like, with the deep, earthy perfume of black truffle woven through every bite. The flavor is rich and decadent — fresh cream, cultured butter, and the unmistakable umami depth of truffle — with a clean, lingering finish that is as elegant as it is indulgent.
"Rich, richer and richest — this sumptuous, melt-on-your-tongue triple cream is bisected with a layer of black truffle shavings. Aged by the great French affineur Rodolphe Le Meunier." — Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger
