Cheese Grotto Exclusive: Redhead Creamery | Herbes de Lucy Brie

This award-winning cheese is made by a young - you guessed it - redhead! Based on a dairy farm in Minnesota, head cheesemaker and founder Alise Sjostrom is inspired by traditional cow milk cheese categories such as Brie and clothbound Cheddar, as well as a semi-soft washed tomme; however, Alise brings a truly American flair to the flavor profile and texture of her cheeses.

What do you get when you take the iconic Little Lucy Brie from Redhead Creamery and infuse it with Herbes de Provence? The most holiday-appropriate cheese around! Introducing our exclusive collaboration with Redhead Creamery, a sustainable dairy and cheesemaker based in Minnesota. Their uniquely tall, small format brie-style cheese is given a savory, herbaceous kick by the addition of an Herbes de Provence blend. When young, the brie is dense, bright, with notes of white mushroom and crème fraîche. When ripe, the umami, vegetal notes come to life and the paste becomes oozy and spreadable, perfect for a baguette. Looking for brie to use for your favorite baked brie recipe? This is it!

Redhead Creamery made their first batch of cheese in 2013, but by the end of 2014 they had already built and opened up their own cheese making facility right here on their family farm, Jer-Lindy Farms. But the ridiculously good cheese you taste today is the culmination of years of study, trips to artisan cheese plants, funding campaigns, testing, waiting, sampling and starting over.

Herbes de Lucy Brie: baguette, fresh raspberries, tangerines, plums with dry riesling, sparkling white wine.

Wonderful drizzled with olive oil and baked in the oven, or make it sweet by drizzling it with honey and wrapping it in puff pastry, placing it in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
