Briette's line of soft-ripened cheese products recently expanded with the addition of a Dulce de Leche variety that shares savory cream notes with a hint of caramel.
The cheese with a white, edible exterior and yellow-white, soft interior is aged from the outside in and its natural maturation process makes the cheese lactose-free. During the cheese-making process, cultures are added to form the cheese's balance of bloomy yet creamy qualities. Additionally, the cheese is naturally gluten-free and made with microbial rennet, which makes them suitable for vegetarians too.
This cheese, and others in the line of creamy fine cheeses, are made with pasteurized and rBST-free milk from cows in the alpine region of Bavaria, Germany. This sweet soft-ripened cheese rounds out the rest of Briette's range, which includes options that are buttery or smoky.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Flavored Soft Cheeses
- Opportunity for creating new cheese flavors by infusing them with unique sweet or savory flavors for a new experience.
- Lactose-free Cheese
- Innovation opportunity in creating an alternative cheese for lactose-intolerant individuals without sacrificing taste or texture.
- Vegetarian Cheese
- Opportunity to create a line of cheese products made specifically for vegetarians, using microbial rennet instead of animal-based rennet.
Sectors Adopting This
- Dairy Industry
- Opportunity for dairy companies to innovate and expand their cheese product lines by creating unique flavors, textures and properties to meet consumer preferences.
- Health and Wellness Industry
- Opportunity to create cheese options for individuals with dietary restrictions, such as lactose intolerance or vegetarianism, to cater to the growing health and wellness market.
- Food and Beverage Industry
- Opportunity for chefs and food manufacturers to incorporate flavored soft cheeses into recipes, creating new and innovative dishes for consumers to enjoy.
