triple creme
triple crème (noun) A type of fresh, soft French cheese characterized by an exceptionally high fat content. Specifically, it must contain a minimum of 72% fat in its dry matter, resulting in an extremely rich, creamy, and luxurious texture and flavor.
The term "triple crème" is used to classify and describe a specific category of rich, soft-ripened cheeses. It is often found on cheese labels, menus, and in gourmet discussions. * For example: The cheese board featured a decadent triple crème from Normandy. * For example: She prefers the indulgent texture of a triple crème over firmer cheeses.
While "triple crème" precisely denotes the fat content, it is often used more broadly in gastronomic contexts to imply supreme richness and quality. * For example: The dessert had a triple crème richness, though it contained no actual cheese.
