Whole Foods Market / Isigny Ste. Mére Bonhomme French Brie // Cowgirl Creamery / Chimney Rock

今日の手土産で持っていったチーズ。
CHIMNEY ROCKとIMPORTED FRENCH BRIEです。
チムニーロックは、ハーブとマッシュルームが表面に散りばめられたチーズで、ちょっと珍しい季節もの。
フレンチブリーは、ダブルクリームで濃厚なタイプのブリー。
どちらも美味しかったです(^_^)

Isigny Ste. Mére Bonhomme French Brie

Crusty bread, prepare to meet your match! Just in time for your next party or impromptu gathering, Isigny Ste. Mère Brie is in stores now and you’ll only find it at Whole Foods Market. Just look for the logo of the smiling bonhomme (that’s French for a jolly fellow.) This delightful cheese comes from a co-operative of 570 farmers in Normandy, France. Normandy is a lush area of rolling hills that produce very fertile grasses and the cows that graze on these grasses produce high butterfat milk.

Our Brie is unique in that it contains 60% butterfat, a formula customized especially for Whole Foods Market. This butterfat content imparts full and complex flavors to the cheese, resulting in a rich, buttery mouth-feel and herbaceous flavor. It’s also produced using a traditional slow pasteurization process and no growth hormones, such as rBST, are given to the cows.

In addition to being superb cheese makers, Isigny Ste. Mère is committed to being a good citizen and protecting the ecosystems of Normandy. In 2008 they converted their facility to biomass renewable energy from the waste of saw mills, park service and industry. They also use a water recovery system to provide steam energy. Isigny Ste. Mère Brie is simple to serve with your favorite fruit spreads or chutneys – just remove from the refrigerator about an hour before serving.

Chimney Rock
Cowgirl Creamery –Petaluma, California

Our fall seasonal cheese, Chimney Rock, starts with organic Jersey milk from John Taverna's Chileno Valley Dairy. The rich bloomy rind cheese is spritzed with Quady Winery's muscat wine, Essensia, then dusted with ground organic shiitake mushrooms, summer savory and black pepper. The result is a beautiful cheese that offers piquant, earthy flavors balanced by high notes of orange blossom and apricot. Chimney Rock is named for one of the most spectacular hikes in all of Point Reyes (our hometown), located at the end of a land bridge that's surrounded by lush meadows and cool breezes.
