Le Petit Tourtain

This little cheese is the star of your board, thanks to its beautiful flower shape. It’s a soft mixed-rind cheese: it has the downy white mold you’d expect from a Brie-style rind, but with the orange glow of a washed rind from regular brine washing. The flavor is just as lovely a combination: creamy and mild like a Brie, with a gentle spicy tingle on the tongue from the orange rind. The texture is silky smooth and melts away beautifully. A perfect entry point for anyone who usually finds washed-rind cheeses a bit too intense.
