Petite Mustard Brie Cheese
Petite Jalapeño Brie Cheese
Marin French Cheese Co.’s Petite Jalapeño Brie is a perfect balance of old world techniques paired with innovative location-inspired ingredients for the modern palate. True to our cheesemaking heritage this cheese starts as a triple crème brie and then gets red and green jalapeño peppers added to the fresh curd before it enters the aging rooms and forms its classic bloomy white rind. A very California cheese with bold and spicy flavors, it is perfectly balanced by a smooth and creamy french style brie base. Part of our Petite Classic Collection, our Jalapeño Brie is an elevated pepper cheese that you didn’t know you needed.
Size: 4oz
Ingredients: Cultured Pasteurized Cow’s Milk, Pasteurized Cream, Red and Green Jalapeño Peppers, Salt, Acetic Acid, Microbial Enzymes, Calcium Chloride.

Recipe Suggestions
Our Jalapeño Brie can replace other cheeses in many recipes, especially when you want a little extra kick. It is extra creamy and can lead to a gooier, more buttery texture in your dish than firm styles of cheese so you may need to alter a recipe slightly, or it might just be extra decadent and even better. Try your next breakfast sandwich with a fried egg, crispy bacon, a light spread of honey or jelly and melted Petite Jalapeño Brie for a sweet and savory combination to cure any morning melancholy.
