Petit Frere

Meaning "little brother" in French, Petit Frere is a semi-soft, soft ripened washed rind cheese. This American Original cheese was created in the tradition of the Crave Brothers Les Freres, their signature award winning farmstead cheese. It is a smaller 8oz version of the Les Freres. Developed to reflect the Irish-French heritage of the Crave family, these cheeses are made in small batches and ladled into draining molds. At first the cheeses are washed daily, and then as they cure, they are washed regularly under the direction of cheesemaker George Crave.

Petit Frere has a light tan to orange/brown rind that continues to change as it ages. It has an earthy, fruity flavor and a velvety texture. Made with a Microbial rennet.
