Blue Earth Brie Style Cheese Wheel
As arguably the most well-known style of French cheese, making a brie was a natural extension of Alemar making our Bent River Camembert-style cheese. Mankato, MN—where Alemar got its start—is within Blue Earth County, hence the name of the cheese. While Bent River aspires to be a proper Camembert with big vegetal, herbal, funky flavors, Blue Earth is instead an American Brie with a less runny texture as it ages and more focus on grassy, mushroomy, buttery flavor and smooth, decadent texture. Indeed, we've often heard that people mistake Blue Earth for a double or triple cream cheese when we don't add any cream at all! Expect a touch of funky brassica flavor for complexity, but overall, Blue Earth is a much more approachable cheese and adopts some techniques from tomme-style cheese to make its unique character. The cheese is super melty and great for cooking applications as well! Alemar Cheese Company was started by Keith Adams in 2008 in Mankato, Minnesota and moved up to its new location in Food Building in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2019. Alemar specializes in soft-ripened, French-inspired cheeses. All Alemar cheeses are made by hand from local grass-fed cow's milk and use vegetarian rennet.
