Trillium

Trillium is the embodiment of quiet luxury—an homage to the timeless French classics Brie and Camembert, reimagined through the lens of American artisan cheesemaking. From the beginning, this cheese was crafted with one goal in mind: to create a triple-cream bloomy-rind cheese that feels indulgent yet balanced, refined yet deeply comforting.

Made with pasteurized cow’s milk and enriched with cream, Trillium is carefully shaped into elegant square formats and nurtured through a patient aging process. As it ripens, a soft, snowy-white bloomy rind forms on the exterior, protecting the transformation within. What begins as a structured, buttery paste slowly becomes silky and yielding—melting effortlessly on the palate.

What Makes Trillium Unique

Trillium stands apart for its remarkable balance. While undeniably rich, it never overwhelms. The triple-cream base provides decadent mouthfeel, while thoughtful aging preserves brightness and restraint. Its square format encourages even ripening and a beautiful presentation, making it equally at home on a cheese board or as the centerpiece of a special meal.

This careful balance of technique, milk quality, and time has earned Trillium consistent recognition on both national and international stages.
