 | Description: Similar to Brillat Savarin but from further south in France (the Champagne region), this triple-crème owes its name to two friends who created it back in the 1970's. The more famous of the two, Robert Rouzaire, founded the Rouzaire cheese manufacturing company. According to Pierre and Robert's story, impatience played a major role in the developmnent of this fresh cheese. Tired of waiting for the cheese to fully ripen, they consumed a wheel of it early in the cheesemaking process, when the cheese was quite soft and still spreadable on the inside. They loved it and went on to perfect the recipe, adding crème fraiche before curing for extra creaminess. With a rich buttery texture and a tangy aftertaste, this is one cheese you will definitely want to include on the cheese board.
