Pierre Robert

Pierre Robert is a French cheese produced in the region of Seine-et-Marne. Made with cow's milk, this triple-crème cheese has a mild, rich, and buttery flavor. It ages for about 3 weeks, and develops a soft and dense texture on the interior.

Pierre Robert was invented by the makers of Brillat-Savarin, Robert Rouzaire and his colleague Pierre, hence the name of the cheese. Apart from the name, pierre means boulder in French, so the cheese has a small, whimsical bump on its velvety rind, which is useful for distinguishing this cheese from other similar cheeses.
