Délice des Cabottes – A Creamy Jewel from Burgundy
Délice des Cabottes is a decadent triple-cream cow’s milk cheese made in Burgundy, France, by a respected and long-established Burgundian creamery. With its soft bloomy rind and lush interior, this cheese is an elegant example of the rich dairy tradition of the region—where full-fat milk and cream come together to create something truly indulgent.
Its name, Cabottes, refers to the small dry-stone shelters once used by vineyard workers in Burgundy—rooting the cheese deeply in its terroir, both in name and in character.
