Soft ripened cheeses
Soft ripened cheeses like Brie, Camembert, and triple crèmes offer creamy textures and flavors ranging from buttery to mushroomy. These cheeses benefit from beverages that provide either complementary richness or contrasting acidity to cut through their luscious texture, with sparkling options adding textural contrast through effervescence.
