caprice des dieux

Over 50 years ago, Caprice des Dieux was developed by Jean-Noël Bongrain, founder of the parent company Bongrain SA.  Also known as, “Caprice of the Gods”, it is a soft-ripened cheese made from pasteurized cow’s milk with fresh aroma and a white paste.  Due to its oval shape, blue packaging, smooth and creamy consistency, it looks a bit different.  In about two weeks, the cheese attains full maturation with a bloomy rind.  Under its velvety skin, it has a pure taste of fresh milk and cream with a buttery, nutty and smooth flavour.  This soft cheese has a fat content of 60% and pairs with most wines and Champagne.
