Double cream cheeses are cheeses with a fat content in the dry weight between 60 and 75 per cent. These cheeses usually have no crust. Their paste is odorless and soft and tastes mild. Some well-known double cream cheeses include:

• Boursin, which has strong taste due to the spices used
• Philadelphia

Cheese with a still higher fat content in the dry weight is designated than triple cream cheese. Because of their natural sweetness, these cheeses are perfect when served with fruit for dessert.
