Fleur de Nuits
About this item
Fleur de Nuits is a double crème beauty modeled after the French classic, Chaorce. It is made in the heart of Burgundy, then aged in the Loire Valley by affineur Rodolphe LeMeunier. This is butter disguised as cheese! Rich and decadent, with a light tang to the paste and floral earthiness on the rind. A guaranteed crowd pleaser.
Rodolphe LeMeunier is a third generation cheese professional. In 2005 he was named best cheesemonger in all of France, and in 2007 he was named France’s best craftsman. He is widely known for his work in cheese selection and affinage. Affinage, or refining, is a delicate process of maintaining the proper environment in cheese cellars. This careful balance of temperature, humidity, and microflora transforms humble blobs of curd into glorious wheels of cheese.
Fleur de Nuits is perfect for date nights and entertaining. Sample as is with honey, or spread on crostini with strawberries and basil. Be sure to pair with something bubbly to cut through the cream!
