...Unpasteurized Business...


I love it when the cheese department at the grocery store decides to have a sale.
It's like I'm ten and just heard the ice cream truck.

When I saw this "Brillat-Savarin" with a "SPECIAL" sticker on it, I almost climbed over the counter to give the cheese lady a hug.

Butter is churned cream. This cheese tastes a lot like butter.
It's got a super velvety crust and is extremely rich and smooth on the inside.
I suppose it's like butter...minus the churning process.

This cheese has been around since the 1930s.
A man named Henri Adrouet created it.
He named it in honor of the famous 18th century food writer, Brillat-Savarin.
Beautiful story, no?
