As you savor this soft-ripened cheese, you'll notice its delicate aromas of mushrooms and earthiness, enhanced by the thin, tender rind that adds to the overall tasting experience. While it shines on its own, this Camembert also melts effortlessly, making it an excellent choice for a variety of cheesy recipes. Enjoy it young and firm for a subtle taste, or let it ripen for a more robust flavor profile.

Pairing
WINE WINE
When it comes to pairing, Petite Camembert is a versatile companion. For wine enthusiasts, consider pairing it with California Rhone-style red blends, which range from full-bodied with spicy notes to lighter, fruit-forward varieties. If you prefer white wine, a Gewurztraminer or a fuller-bodied aromatic wine will complement the cheese beautifully.
BEER BEER
For beer lovers, darker brews like Stouts, Bocks, or Brown Ales enhance the cheese's earthy flavors, while a refreshing wheat beer or Saison can introduce interesting contrasts.
CHEESEBOARD FAVORITES CHEESEBOARD FAVORITES

    How long should the cheese be out of the fridge before serving?

    It is best to leave your cheese out 30-60 minutes prior to serving for optimal flavor and texture.

    There is white mold on my Petite Breakfast. Is this safe to eat?

    Petite Breakfast is safe to eat even if there is some white mold on the outside. The cheese briefly shares an aging space with our older Brie cheeses and may pick up some of the  cultures that form their rind. It can be enjoyed as is or, if you prefer, you can trim off the white rind.
