There are many reasons why Caprice des Dieux is so beloved in France, beyond its role as a classic after-school snack. It’s the creamy, luscious interior that’s delightfully buttery. The picture-perfect oval box that’s ultra-giftable. The crowd-pleasing comfort of a cheese that’s been around since the 1950s. Caprice des Dieux adds a touch of approachable indulgence (and an unexpected shape) to any spread. Serve it with Kuze Fuku & Sons Marionberry Jam for a berries-and-cream inspired bite.
“This is a super nostalgic cheese in France where most people grew up eating it! I don’t have that history with Caprice des Dieux, but it’s still one of my ultimate comfort picks. It’s simple, tasty, and soul-warming.”
Cultured Pasteurized Cream, Salt, Calcium Chloride
- Caprice des Dieux is made with cow’s milk and cream, which ups the butterfat content, making it extra rich.
- The milk comes from farms within 70 km. of where it’s made in the small village of Illoud in Haute-Marne.
- This is a bloomy rind cheese, named for the white mold that “blooms” on the rind, which is responsible for breaking down the interior and creating its silky texture.
