These are terms that describe the butterfat content of a cheese.

Double-cream means that the cheese is made from at least 60% butterfat.

Triple-cream means that the cheese is made from at least 70% butterfat.

Double crème and triple crème mean the same as above respectively, while giving you the added insight that the food writers you are reading like to flash about the few words of French they know.
