Produced in the Seine-et-Marne region of northern France, the cheese was developed after conducting some experiments with aging Brillat Savarin (another cheese), in their caves. Pierre Robert is a decadent, triple-crème-style cheese that is extremely rich, buttery and yet mild in flavor, making it both accessible and popular. With age, the rind can become quite thick and occasionally separate from the cheese underneath. The interior paste is a straw color.
Established in 1960, Rouzaire has been a family-run operation for three generations, maintaining a strong commitment to artisanal cheese-making practices. The family’s legacy is deeply rooted in the rich culinary heritage of the Île-de-France region. The cheeses are crafted using manual methods, including hand molding and salting. Rouzaire's aging process occurs in dedicated underground cellars, where the cheeses are carefully monitored and turned by experienced affineurs.
