Pairing

 

Brie

Brie is a soft, luscious cheese that is enveloped in a downy white rind. Its creamy flavor and buttery interior is easy to spread and melts seductively when warm. Brie is delicious when paired with tart fruits, hearty breads and crunchy nuts. As an ingredient, Brie compliments rich sauces, adds zest to fluffy quiches and turns ordinary stuffing into a moist treat.





For a cheese and wine pairing that really "sings" this summer, serve Ile de France Brie alongside a glass of Laurent Miquel, Nord Sud Viognier 2005 Vin de Pays d'Oc. This fruit-infused wine is perfect for summer celebrating, featuring a slightly oaky, creamy flavor that's bursting with hints of peaches, honeysuckle and pear. Its fresh, lively finish strikes the perfect note against the rich, creamy-smooth Brie.

Champagne & Brie
Synonymous with an enthusiastic celebration, Champagne is to Valentine’s Day what eggnog is to Christmas. But the romance simply won’t be complete this Valentine’s Day without the perfect accompaniment to a glass of “bubbly”: a wedge of rich, buttery-smooth Ile de France® Le Brie.

Summer's Coolest Lunch Combo
Berries are the perfect “summer dress” for a wedge of cool, creamy Ile de France Brie. Serve your choice of ripe strawberries, blueberries and raspberries – fresh or tossed with sugar until syrupy – over the Brie, and add shortbread cookies for a sweet snack or a light dessert.
Fall Fun, September 2006
Tackle the Tailgating Challenge

A tailgating party is the perfect way to kick off a fun fall afternoon at the game. To make it truly special, forgo the usual chips and dips in favor of luscious Ile de France Brie, cubed and wrapped in thin slices of Prosciutto di Parma. Touchdown!
Delicious Dessert , December 2006
Decadent Dessert Trio
For a holiday finale that’s simple, sophisticated and surprising, serve wedges of our Baked Brie with Brandied Apricots & Cranberries. Pop it in the oven as dinner is served for a “crisp on the outside, warm and creamy on the inside, and full of rich fruit flavor” dessert! Add a glass of deep, smooth, berry-sweet Cabernet Sauvignon for the perfect pairing.
