Soft-Ripened Cheese
Velvety white rinds protecting a decadent, slowly liquefying creamline with delicate notes of wild mushroom and rich grass-fed cream.
Centripetal Ripening from Rind to Core
Soft-ripened cheeses mature from the outside in. The living white surface mold (penicillium camemberti) neutralizes lactic acidity on the surface, triggering enzymes that gradually soften the firm chalky curd into an unctuous, spoonable cream.
Supple, Molten, Silky
Field mushroom, damp hay, warm brioche
Clotted cream, subtle brassica, garlic blossom
"Served at exact cellar temperature, a soft-ripened wheel presents two distinct textural moments: a firm mineral core surrounded by a luscious molten creamline."
Pairing Notes
Superb on crusty stoneground baguette rounds accompanied by tart sliced Granny Smith apples or crisp green grapes.
