A Mexican lager is a natural companion, perfectly offsetting the zesty notes of the pepper cheese. For a more adventurous pairing, try a wheat beer or a fruit-forward option, which will enhance the cheese's creamy texture and spicy profile, making for a refreshing experience.

    Faq

    How long should the cheese be out of the fridge before serving?

    It is best to leave your cheese out 30-60 minutes prior to serving for optimal flavor and texture.

    There is white mold on my Petite Breakfast. Is this safe to eat?

    Petite Breakfast is safe to eat even if there is some white mold on the outside. The cheese briefly shares an aging space with our older Brie cheeses and may pick up some of the  cultures that form their rind. It can be enjoyed as is or, if you prefer, you can trim off the white rind.
