Beillevaire Cream Cheese

tasting Notes from the Curator

This packs a perfect balance of sweet and tang. It is a smooth, spreadable cheese at room temperature.

Pairings

Perfect as is, spread on toast or use for making cheese-based cakes or desserts. You may also opt to add some herbs and spices to give the cream cheese your own flare before serving.

From the Finest Producer

Fromagerie Beillevaire began in 1980, when Pascal Beillevaire decided to combine his two passions, agriculture and trade. Operating a family farm, looking for additional market penetration for their produce, homemade butters and creams, Fromagerie Beillevaire was created.

From the onset, the company’s commitment to tradition and quality set it apart from other producers and affineurs in the French Market. The company focuses on the promotion and preservation of farmhouse and artisan cheesemaking practices, and the name Beillevaire is a guarantee of quality and prestige.

Beillevaire’s business model is unique, operating as both a producer and affineur. Beillevaire makes cheeses, butter, cream and yogurt. To meet demand for their products, milk is collected twice daily from a dozen nearby family farms and brought to the workshops still warm. Milk collection has become a trademark process of the business, ensuring that only the highest quality milk is used for their products. All of Beillevaire’s products are artisanal (they are among the last producers making butter with raw cow cream in wooden churns).

Storage Instructions

Keep cream cheese refrigerated. Store in refrigerator with a temperature of 40º F or lower. To maintain its consistency, do not freeze cream cheese packed in plastic containers which are softer than foil-wrapped blocks. Keep the original packaging of foil-wrapped cream cheese refrigerated if still unopened.
