Rouge et Noir Breakfast Cheese
The Original Breakfast Cheese
This fresh cheese is
ideal for the morning meal. It is delicately soft, with an old-fashioned
ripened butter flavor, making it the perfect compliment to toast and jam.
Hand-
made since 1865, this is the original Marin French product that started it all,
beginning with a stroke of marketing genius. Jefferson A. Thompson, the founder
of Marin French, started producing s California
fresh cheeses and selling them to the unique and growing market of San
Francisco. At about the time that California’s famed
Gold Rush went bust and disillusioned former miners poured back into the then
thriving port of Yerba Buena (now known as San Francisco), Thompson saw a
great opportunity and made his move. He
developed a fresh cheese which could be made one day and sold three days later,
called Breakfast Cheese. He sold it
to saloons where it was served on the bar as a substitute for pickled eggs. It offered a good source of protein and was a
great hit with these dock workers. Marin
French Cheese was on its way.
The
cheese went by wagon from the Cheese Factory to nearby Petaluma,
where it was loaded onto the Steamer Gold and shipped to San
Francisco. It is truly a hallmark of our California
heritage and a tradition we are proud to continue to this day.
