Summer Truffle Brie

Brie à la Truffe is a luxurious French soft-ripened cheese made by Beillevaire in Machecoul, Loire-Atlantique, combining a rich, buttery Brie with a layer of black summer truffle paste through the centre. The soft, creamy paste is complemented by an earthy, mushroomy truffle aroma, while the delicate bloomy rind adds a subtle savoury complexity.

Made by splitting a young Brie wheel and spreading a layer of cream cheese blended with 2.6% summer truffle (Tuber aestivum) across the centre before reassembling and further ripening, this striking cheese develops its distinctive dark truffle seam and beautifully balanced flavour. As it warms to room temperature, the truffle aroma becomes more pronounced, sitting elegantly behind the richness of the Brie rather than overpowering it.

Pair it with crusty sourdough, walnut bread, fresh figs, honey or grapes to complement its creamy texture and earthy truffle character. Also delicious spread onto warm toast or gently baked until soft and melting, then served with bread for dipping.
