Brie Cheese
Marin French Cheese Co.’s seasonal Petite Boo Ash-Coated Brie is a fun and festive balance of old-world technique and modern innovation. Our Petite Ash gets a Halloween makeover thanks to the inclusion of all-natural annatto. A thin layer of black vegetable ash and a striking orange paste make this delicious and decadent triple creme brie a special and spooky must-have.
Charred vegetable ash has been a traditional ingredient in cheese making for centuries, used to help preserve the cheese. It also adds an extra level of earthy flavor and seals in moisture for a rich and gooey texture. We are excited to offer Petite Boo as a way to honor the history of traditional cheesemaking while bringing in a modern sense of exploration and fun.
Size: 4 oz
Ingredients: Cultured Pasteurized Cow’s Milk, Pasteurized Cream, Salt, Vegetable Ash, Annatto, Microbial Enzymes.
Tasting Notes
Petite Boo is a rich and creamy triple creme brie in a fun and festive Halloween costume. Don't let the orange paste or ash-coating fool you, flavors will be mild and milky with a hint of earthy kick. The pairing opportunities are endless!
-
Wine
Sparkling Wine or Champagne pair well with any brie cheese, as the bubbles cut through the rich and milky paste for a clean and refreshing finish. With its mild earthiness, Petite Boo works well with an unoaked Chardonnay or a light Pinot Noir.
-
Beer
A mild cheese like Petite Boo calls for a light and refreshing beer. A crisp Pilsner or juicy Kolsch will cut through the cheese's richness without overpowering the flavor. You can also experiment with fruity or floral options like a Saison or a Sour, but don't let the cheese's flavor get lost in the shuffle.
