The 68th annual Summer Fancy Foods Show was held earlier this week from June 23–25. At the event, Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. had two new products on display: Fennel Blue and Truffle Brie.
“This is our 23rd year exhibiting at the Summer Fancy Food Show and we’re just as excited as we were back in 2001,” said Lynn Giacomini Stray, Chief Operating Officer. “Both Fennel Blue and Truffle Brie are so unique in their categories, not just because of the incredible flavor variations, but because of the care we put into every handcrafted batch. Our focus remains on celebrating the quality of our pristine California milk in every wheel of cheese we make.”
Famous for its award-winning blue cheeses, Point Reyes is introducing Fennel Blue, a version of its beloved Bay Blue, infused with aromatic fennel seeds. According to a press release, the mild blue pungency and umami richness of rustic-style Bay Blue comes together with the added layer of the subtle sweetness of fennel.
Truffle Brie is Point Reyes’ second cheese using black summer truffles from Sabatino Tartufi in Umbria, Italy. Each wheel is decadent and silky-smooth, both buttery and earthy. The balanced umami flavors add depth, complementing the cream-filled texture, and creating a beautiful complexity.
Did you get a chance to try the products for yourself? If not, I would get in touch with a Point Reyes rep ASAP.
