How it's made |
|
|
The Magic of Ultrafiltration |
|
Fromager d'Affinois is similar to Brie in production, appearance and flavor. Unlike Brie however, before cheese making the cow's milk undergoes a process called ultrafiltration. Ultrafiltration removes water from the pasteurized milk, concentrating all its other components. One effect of this process is that it allows the acceleration of the cheese ripening. Whereas classic Brie takes eight weeks to make, Fromager d'Affinois can be made in two weeks. Ultrafiltration also results in a milk that retains more nutrients and proteins, and the cheese has a relatively high fat content of 60% that imparts a buttery richness. |

A French Delicacy |
|
Fromager D’Affinois with Herbs is loved for its fluffy cloud-like texture and tender, blooming rind. This double crème, Brie-style cheese is infused with a combination of spicy garlic and fresh tasting herbs, giving the cheese a succulent and satisfying flavor. Fromager d'Affinois with garlic and herbs makes a great dip for spring vegetables or simply spread on crusty bread. This will add sophistication to your cheeseboard.
