Brillat-Savarin is a soft cow's milk cheese from Burgundy, in France, and it belongs to the triple-cream group. Extra cream goes into the milk, so the paste is rich, pale, and almost spoonable when ripe. A white bloomy rind covers the wheel. The flavor is mild, buttery, and lightly sour, with a mushroom note near the coat. It is a board cheese and a spread, not a cheese you buy for grating.

It is sold in small rounds for the table, not as a hard wheel for grating.
