4. In a small saucepan: Warm heavy cream gently (don’t boil). Stir in Dijon, thyme, pepper, nutmeg. Add cheese gradually, stirring until silky and melted. Taste & adjust seasoning.

Irish Colcannon Bites with Aged Gouda

Ingredients

• 2 lbs (900g) of potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)

• 2 tbsp butter (plus more for frying)

• 1 small leek, finely sliced (or 1 cup green cabbage)

• 2 scallions, finely chopped

• ¾ cup Rembrandt Gouda, aged 1 year, finely grated

• ¼ cup warm milk or cream

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

• 1 egg, lightly beaten

• ½ cup all-purpose flour

• 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works great)

• Neutral oil, for frying

Directions

1. Peel and cut potatoes into chunks. Boil in well-salted water until fork-tender (15–20 minutes). Drain well and let steam dry for a minute.

2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add leek (or cabbage) and cook until soft and sweet, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt.

3. Mash potatoes with warm milk, sautéed greens, scallions, salt, and pepper. Fold in the aged Gouda while the mash is still warm until melted and creamy.

4. Let the mixture cool slightly, then stir in the egg. Chill for 20–30 minutes (this makes shaping easier). Roll into small balls.

5. Set up three bowls: flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs. Coat each bite in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.

6. Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry colcannon bites in batches until golden and crisp on all sides, about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

7. Finish with flaky salt and herbs. Serve with sour cream, mustard, or both.

FR-563

Le Châtelain is a traditional French soft-ripened cheese crafted in the classic Camembert style. Encased in a delicate, bloomy white rind, it opens to a luxuriously smooth interior that grows increasingly soft and spreadable as it matures.

Mild and buttery with subtle earthy undertones, this Camembert is both inviting and versatile—equally suited to everyday indulgence or elevated entertaining.

Successful family-run business that has thrived for generations.

Belletoile 70% Triple Cream

Belletoile is a premium French triple-cream cheese made with 70% butterfat by Fromagerie Henri Hutin in Lorraine, France.

Recognized by its iconic “beautiful star” label, this soft-ripened cow’s milk cheese is encased in a delicate, snowy-white bloomy rind that is fully edible and contributes subtle mushroom, cream, and fresh butter notes as it ripens. Beneath the rind, the paste is exceptionally smooth and luscious, offering a mild, elegant flavor and a melt-in-the-mouth texture. Luxurious yet balanced, Belletoile is a favorite for simple, indulgent presentations— perfectly spread on warm bread or paired with fresh fruit, nuts, and a glass of sparkling wine.

Fromager d'Affinois Florette

Florette is a thick, nearly whipped spread of tangy goat milk goodness wrapped in a delicate bloomy rind. Less acidic and chalky than traditional French goat cheese, its soft, runny interior delivers the silky mouthfeel typical of Fromager d’Affinois. The bloomy rind gently ripens the cheese, adding subtle mushroom and cream notes that enhance its richness.

Presented in a distinctive hexagonal shape, Florette is easily spreadable and pairs beautifully with dates and honey on a French cheese board. Enjoy it with a full-bodied Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc, or a buttery Chardonnay.

A family business for 3 generations, the Société Fromagère du Livradois perpetuates the traditional dairy and farm production of many Auvergne cheeses based on the quality of the milk, immutable manufacturing processes and exceptional ripening quality.

Imagine...a green setting in the heart of Auvergne where cows graze serenely between 700 and 1,200 meters above sea level to produce exceptional milk. It is in this natural setting nestled in the Livradois-Forez regional natural park, on this mountain and plateau and that the Société Fromagère du Livradois produces or refines Auvergne cheese PDOs and other regional cheese specialties every day.

Saint Nectaire Auvermont is a semi-soft, uncooked pressed cheese salted in brine and ripened for at least 28 days. This dense cheese has a silky texture with a soft acidity, and its taste is similar to that of Reblochon with hints of hazelnut and mushrooms.

Raclette is the world’s most famous melting cheese as well as a beloved dish originally created by Alpine cheesemakers feasting upon boiled potatoes and cornichons topped with the melted cheese.

It all started in the early 80's when Jean-Claude Guilloteau set out to create his own cheese. This passionate man devoted 10 years of his life to developing a recipe that Fromagerie Guilloteau still uses today in the French countryside. In 1981, he made his first cheese using a unique approach to cheese making that filtered the milk and kept the best it had to offer! The cheese features a unique thin rind, a unique taste and a melting texture. The cheese-making savoir-faire has remained the same: that of Mr. Guilloteau. His knowledge has been passed on by Fromagerie Guilloteau cheese makers for over 40 years now!
