Delice de Pommard

Delice de Pommard is an interesting cheese. It is a triple cream cheese, meaning cream was added to it during the production process and has obtained a certain level of butterfat. The Delice de Pommard is such a cheese hailing from the town of Pommard in Burgundy, France. It is rich, soft, and tasty. It is made from cow’s milk and has full cream added to it.

The cheese has a rich, milky aroma with a slight bite to it. On the palate, it is soft and smooth, more akin to velvet than an actual cheese. It has a nice saltiness that accentuates the nuttiness of the cheese itself. This soft cheese is rindless and is instead lightly rolled in mustard seeds, enhancing the flavor and texture of the cheese itself.

This wonderful cheese is best as the centerpiece to an epic cheese plate. Simply spread it on fresh, crusty baguette and / or crackers and enjoy with a nice Pinot Noir.

Storage Instructions

Cheeses (except brined ones in jars) should be stored in the crisper or the butter drawer of a refrigerator, not on the shelves themselves. This is to help regulate their temperature and humidity levels—and prevents the formation of mold. Once opened, they should not be kept in their original packaging. Soft cheeses with delicate rinds need to breathe, so they are best placed in glass containers lined with paper towels to absorb extra moisture. Leave the lid open a tiny bit for air to circulate and don’t forget to write up a label with the date you first opened the package. Kindly pay attention to the best before date label when you receive your cheese. Consume prior to date indicated.
