🧀🇫🇷 KIRKLAND SIGNATURE | Imported French Double Cream Brie (380g)

⭐ Product Overview: Indulge in Authentic Normandy Luxury

Experience the classic taste of France right here in Japan! This Kirkland Signature Brie from Costco is co-branded with Isigny Sainte-Mère, a renowned dairy cooperative in Normandy, France, famous for its high-quality butter and Camembert.

This is a luxurious Double Cream Brie, meaning extra cream is added during the production process. The result is a soft, velvety cheese with a 60% milk fat content that offers a richer, more buttery, and incredibly smooth texture than standard Brie.

This 380g wheel is your perfect centerpiece for entertaining or your weekly indulgence!

🌟 Why This Brie is a Must-Buy in Japan

1. Authentic French Quality & Flavor Profile

Forget mass-produced cheese! This Brie is made in Normandy, benefiting from the region's lush, nutrient-rich grazing grass, which gives the dairy a unique, superior flavor.

Taste: Rich, creamy, buttery, with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Many describe a subtle, pleasant mushroomy/earthy scent.

Texture: Soft, smooth, and designed to become incredibly gooey and runny as it ripens.

2. Master the Perfect Serve (The Essential Tip!)

As noted on the package, the golden rule for eating Brie is: "Let stand 1 hour before serving."

Why? Allowing the cheese to reach room temperature allows the flavors to open up and the rich, double cream interior to soften into its signature luxurious, silky consistency.

Ripening Hack: For a milder flavor and semi-soft texture, eat it early. For an unbelievably creamy, more flavorful experience, enjoy it closer to the best-by date.

3. The Perfect Size & Great Value

The 380g (13.4 oz) size is substantial and ideal for a cheese board, a baked Brie appetizer, or simply stocking your fridge. International shoppers consistently praise the quality for the price.

🍽️ Gourmet Cooking & Usage Hacks

This double cream Brie is excellent for both raw and cooked applications.

Baked Brie: Score the top rind, drizzle with honey, sprinkle with chopped walnuts or fig jam, and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 5-10 minutes until the inside is molten. Serve immediately with crackers or crusty baguette slices—the ultimate appetizer.

Savory Sandwich: Slice thinly and melt onto a panini or grilled cheese sandwich with caramelized onions or apple slices.

Leftover Sauce: Melt small leftover pieces with a touch of milk or cream and white wine to create a rich, indulgent cheese sauce for pasta or pouring over steamed vegetables.

Pairing: Pairs best with champagne, light red wines (like Pinot Noir), honey, fig jam, and crisp green apples.
