Double-and Triple-Creme Cheeses

There is nothing so lush and perfect as a thick buttery double- or triple-crème cheese served at the end of a grand meal. Their beguiling flavors can be very mild or wonderfully full bodied. The double crèmes have at least 60 percent butterfat and the triple crèmes between 70 and 75 percent. Buy these irresistible cheeses when fresh and light in aroma. Smooth and creamy, they tend to be very delicate. It is best to buy small whole cheeses and keep them very well wrapped in the refrigerator until an hour or two before serving.
