Doppelrahmstufe

The term Doppelrahmstufe is German and refers to a high-fat cheese, containing between 60% and 87% fat in dry matter. Cheeses in this category are soft, double-cream varieties with a luscious, creamy texture and a rich, buttery flavor. Popular in Germany and Austria, Doppelrahmstufe cheeses - such as Quark, Brie, and Camembert - are generally used as spreads, in desserts.
