    Délice de Bourgogne

    Chosen by
    Also chosen by
    “Triple cremes are my desert island cheeses… Délice de Bourgogne is so voluptuous with her milky creamy layers and her rich, buttery tendencies” (Mares). Vachon recommends it over anything simply labeled Brie; it’s stocked as widely as Trader Joe’s.

    Cowgirl Creamery Mt Tam

    Chosen by

    An organic triple-crème from Point Reyes, California. Thorpe: an American stalwart that “admirably manage[s] the balance of decadence and backbone.” Vachon: “fudgy, pudgy, and bright,” it “set the bar for what an American ‘brie’ could aspire to be.”
