Not only visually stunning, Ash Brie is equally exceptional in flavor. Its texture is a delicate balance of silky, smooth, creamy, and slightly bouncy, with a melt-in-your-mouth quality that unveils layers of rich, salty, and buttery notes.

As Ash Brie ages, it matures with elegance. The center gradually softens and becomes irresistibly smooth, while the outer rind remains chalky, slowly developing subtle hints of orange and yellow. This stage, when the cheese is at its peak ripeness, is often considered the optimal time to indulge in its full flavor profile. Like the one nestled in your Advent calendar, it has been patiently aging to reach this perfect moment of complexity and depth.

Ash Brie pairs wonderfully with the richness of dark chocolate, as well as the bright acidity of raspberries and strawberries. It makes a striking addition to a cheese platter, complementing cheeses like sharp Roquefort, Manchego, or a creamy cheddar.

For a truly harmonious experience, savor Ash Brie alongside the dried pears from your Advent calendar. The sweet fruit balances the cheese’s buttery and salty notes, creating an unforgettable flavor combination.
