White mould cheese with chili & pepper Fromager d’Affinois

Bell pepper, jalapeno and cayenne chili provide a spicy kick to this soft cheese whilst its richness keeps the overall intensity well balanced. Our chili pepper cheese has an edible rind that is much thinner and gentler in taste than that of French brie cheeses.

History and uniqueness

Made by Fromagerie Guilloteau near Pelussin in the Rhone Valley this cheese utilises ultra filtration techniques and modern lactic fermentation techniques to boost the protein and calcium levels in the curd. Made with added cream then infused with red capsicum, red jalapeno chili and cayenne, the rich paste has a spicy finish. The silky texture of the cheese distinguishes it from other traditional white rind types.
