Also known as Fromage Boursault

Délice de Saint Cyr is a bloomy rind triple cream cheese selected by Mons Fromager Affineur. It is made in the Île-de-France region of France where the locals called it Fromage Boursault.

Henri Boursault first invented this decadent cheese in 1951 in Perreux-Sur-Marne. He used pasteurised whole cow’s milk enriched with fresh cream in his recipe. As a result, it has an incredibly creamy texture and a fat content that can reach up to 75%.

A recipe unchanged in 70 years

Modern cheesemakers have since made slight modifications to Henri’s original recipe. However, overall, the cheese has not changed much in almost 70 years.

The small wheels are matured for 12 days before packaging. The special packaging creates the ideal microenvironment for the cheese to continue developing for a further month before it is ready for consumption.

Moreover, this guaranteed crowd-pleaser has a mild mushroom aroma, a buttery texture and mild citrus and crème fraîche notes on the palate.

How to serve

Savour this cheese while still young and fresh. Leave it at room temperature for at least one hour before serving and pair it with a fruity white wine like Vouvray, forest berries and a fresh baguette.
