Product Details
Coeur de Neufchâtel is said to be one of the oldest varieties of cheese from the Normandy region. The cheese hearts are sliced in half using a cheese wire; it's an intricate process and requires delicate handling because the cheese is soft. The centre of the cheese is then spread with a luxurious combination of minced black truffles and triple cream Brillat Savarin, sandwiched back together and left to infuse. Our recipe uses a young Brillat Savarin, where the rind has yet to develop - think heavenly and indulgent cream cheese. Having experimented with cream cheese, mascarpone, and other fresh cheeses, we feel that Brillat's richness is the ideal partner for truffles.
The classic Coeur de Neufchatel is thought to have been invented during the Hundred Years War, legend tells that local girls from Neufchâtel-en-Bray offered the cheese to English soldiers, who thought that the cheese tasted like heaven and that the bloomy white cheeses, shaped like a heart, were angel wings. This makes it the perfect cheese for romantics to enjoy on Valentine’s Day. This smooth, creamy artisan cheese is made from unpasteurised cow’s milk, in upper Normandy, France, and takes its name from the town where it is made, Neufchâtel. Similar to Camembert in texture and taste, it has a richer flavour with a hint of mushrooms and a soft white velvety rind. It is the oldest cheese to be made in Normandy and since 1977 it has been a protected cheese, being given the Protected Designated Origin (PDO) status. The finished truffled Coeur de Neufchâtel is rich and indulgent with a heady truffle aroma and deeply satisfying umaminess. The Brillat Savarin brings a touch of sweetness to the cheese, creating a delicious and balanced treat of a cheese. Best served with a glass of sparkling wine, like our Crement de Jura.
