1. Saint Angel Triple Cream Brie: The Star of the Show
Start with our luxurious Saint Angel Triple Cream Brie. This French masterpiece boasts a fluffy white rind and a rich, buttery interior that's simply irresistible. Its creamy texture and subtle mushroom notes make it a perfect match for champagne or crisp white wine. Pro tip: Drizzle a bit of honey over it for a sweet contrast that'll make your taste buds sing.
Now, about the legend of love and cheese… There are many, but our favorite one is about love for Brie: Legend has it that Louis XVI asked for Brie and wine before he was executed by the Revolutionary Assembly in Paris. Another legend says he didn't escape because he wanted to finish his Brie.
