Though it may show bias, this triple-cream luscious delight really is as good as it gets. Named to honor the French gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826), this dense and moist cheese portrays a buttery-colored interior encompassed in a white, bloomy rind. While we can tell you all about its creaminess with mushroom flavors, you need to let your own taste buds proffer the flavors of Brillat-Savarin’s brilliance.
