Say Cheese: Brie, Goat Cheese Innovations Debut at Show

Specialty cheeses in interesting formats and unique flavor profiles are set to debut at the Winter Fancy Food Show, kicking off this Sunday, January 21 in Las Vegas.

La Fromagerie Henri Hutin, a legacy specialty cheese brand that recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, will feature three new cheeses under the Tours de Paris brand. The foil-wrapped cheeses are seven ounces, including Plain Brie, a soft cheese with a mild flavor; Three Peppers Brie, a soft cheese that blends white, black, and green peppercorns; and Mediterranean Brie, a cheese incorporating tomato, basil, and garlic.

The offerings can be found at booth 608.

La Fromagerie Henri Hutin isn’t the only company showing off a new brie, California-based Marin French Cheese Co. will also launch its latest soft-format brie at the Show. At booth 601, the Petite Garlic & Pepper brie will be highlighted. The product is a triple crème brie that incorporates garlic and cracked pepper into its four-ounce format.

“Crafting Petite Garlic & Pepper has been a labor of love, and we couldn’t be more excited to offer Fancy Food Show attendees the first taste of this unique and aromatic triple crème,” said Bonnie Kaufman, associate brand manager of Marin French Cheese Co., in a statement. “This cheese was inspired by the French Gaperon, a fresh cheese that’s traditionally made in the Auvergne region. We couldn’t think of a better way to add to our line than crafting a Petite that’s inspired by a beloved French cheese but tweaked to fit our production process and infused with a distinct, Northern California vibe.”

Innovations in goat cheese are also set to debut at the Show. Belle Chevre will present Greek Kiss, a four-ounce goat cheese disk wrapped in brined grape leaves.

"We’re thrilled to offer Greek Kiss! Uniquely wrapping our fresh chèvre in brined grape leaves exemplifies Belle Chevre's commitment to artisanal craftsmanship and innovative flavor combinations. The Winter Fancy Food Show provides the perfect platform to share our passion for exceptional goat cheese with the culinary community," said Pierre Guérin, president and co-owner, Belle Chevre, in a statement.

The product can be found at booth 442.
