Dauphin

Dauphin, also known asLe Dauphin Double Crème, is a French double-cream cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk. Renowned for its rich flavor and creamy, soft texture, this handmade cheese was named after "le Dauphin" (in French, it meant the traditional title of the heir to the French throne during the monarchy regime). Shaped into a distinctive hexagon, the cheese develops a delicate white mold rind during the 3 to 4 weeks of aging. Its mild, slightly tangy flavor deepens and intensifies as it ripens. Dauphin cheese is typically packaged in a lidded wooden box and wrapped in wax paper to preserve its freshness and quality.
