Tremblaye Brie Fermier *Third of a Pound*

Tremblaye Brie Fermier, Third of a Pound

Delight in the unique flavors of Tremblaye Brie Fermier. A farmhouse style brie from France, pasteurized cow's milk, with a flavor that runs to mushroom and a texture that goes gooey as it ripens.

Why you'll love it

• Mushroomy and fungal — the rind brings the smell of a wet forest floor, which is the mark of a brie that has been allowed to ripen.
• Gooey when ripe — the paste softens toward liquid under the crust, so cut it when it is still cool or scoop it.
• Hints of oyster and iron — the house notes fresh shucked oyster and a small mineral, almost irony edge in the finish.
• Pasteurized cow's milk — a pasteurized French brie, sold in third of a pound pieces.
• Farmhouse style — the fermier label points to a cheese made in the farmhouse manner rather than on an industrial line.

How to enjoy Take it out of the fridge an hour before dinner and serve it with a baguette and nothing fussy. A dry white, a light red or Champagne all work, and it is very good with a few walnuts.

A brie with actual character, for people who find the supermarket version too polite.
