The Cheese Professor we're loving this article with expert input from Laura Werlin! https://lnkd.in/gpvpEfGg

..."Consumers also are drawn to earthy, nostalgic flavors made with high-quality ingredients. For example, Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co. tapped into this trend with its Fennel Blue cheese, which infuses mild blue cheese with fennel to create a sweet and umami flavor blend. Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co.'s Truffle Brie uses Italian black summer truffles to create a buttery and earthy flavor profile."
