Vignotte

Vignotte is a high (75%) milk-fat ("Triple cream") cow's milk French cheese in a powdery white, bloomy skin of mold.It tastes like an intense version of Brie. Extra heavy cream is added to the cheese during manufacture. A traditional wheel of Vignotte is smaller and shaped higher than the familiar flat wheel of Brie.

Vignotte is so fatty it can make a white wine taste sour and metallic. Any cracker used should be utterly bland.

It is a table cheese and is suitable for grilling too.
