Fromagerie Henri Hutin
Henri Hutin and his family began making artisanal cheese on their farm in the North of Meuse, France, in the early 1900s. After the war in 1922, Henri expanded the family business into a fromagerie in Lacroix-Sur-Meuse and established himself across the region as a “Master Cheese Maker”. Their signature product, Belletoile, was first produced in 1960 and quickly rose to acclaim in the world community by being the first triple crème brie exported to the United States of America.
What makes Belletoile triple crème brie different from other soft-ripened cheeses like traditional brie and camembert is the addition of extra cream before the production process. While other soft cheeses add some cream in the pre-production process, triple créme brie adds an extra amount of cream which gives Belletoile its wonderful, creamy and mellow mouthfeel.
Because of the rind that protects the cheese while it ripens, Belletoile can be enjoyed for weeks after opening as it softens and ages. Our secret recipe includes living cheese cultures, so you will notice different flavor profiles as the cheese matures, starting out fresh and mild but turning more creamy and aromatic in taste as the cheese continues to age.
