Soft-Ripened Goat Milk Brie with a Bloomy White Rind and a Silky, Creamy Paste
Laura Chenel’s Goat Brie is a fresh take on the classic French-style bloomy rind cheese, made entirely from pasteurized goat’s milk sourced from family farms. The rind is delicate and snow-white, encasing a lush, creamy interior that becomes gooey with age. The flavor is clean and tangy, with notes of cultured cream, lemon curd, and fresh mushrooms. As it ripens, it develops more complexity, offering both brightness and depth without the intensity of bloomy rind cheeses made from cow’s milk. A versatile addition to any cheese board, it pairs beautifully with seasonal fruit, crusty baguette, or roasted beets.
Serving: Best served at room temperature. Allow 30–60 minutes out of the fridge before enjoying to achieve full creaminess and aromatic bloom.
- Rennet: Vegetarian, microbial
- Aging: 9–14 days
- Rind: Bloomy white mold
- Ingredients: Pasteurized goat’s milk, salt, cultures, microbial (vegetarian) rennet
- Wine pairings: Sparkling wines, Sauvignon Blanc, Gamay, Chenin Blanc
- Beer pairings: Kölsch, Hefeweizen, Saison, American Pale Ale
- Certifications: Certified Humane, Non-GMO Project Verified, women-led brand, vegetarian-friendly
This is a goat cheese even skeptics will love — rich and approachable, with a soft tang and creamy elegance.
