Soft Ripened
Soft Ripened is a velvety cheese with a white, fluffy rind. It has a tangy mushroomy flavor profile with a rich, silky texture and pungent aromatics. This cheese is best served straight from the refrigerator and pairs well with white grapes.
Suggested wine pairing:
A dry white wine such as a Chardonnay with fruit or citrus notes or even Champagne.

I am impressed!
The Brie type I tried ( Soft Ripened) could fool any omni. Best part: cultured almond milk, enzymes and salt and... nothing else!
Now I am on a quest to produce my own.
Their secret enzyme is in fact not so secret -thistle rennet- used for centuries in Goat cheeses in Spain/Portugal.
Summer is past so where do I get dry-but-still-purple thistle stamens? Cardoon, artichoke or globe will all do.
