Hello to all the cheese lovers out there! During the holiday season, we always get a lot of questions about how to select cheese and pair it with wines for entertaining this time of year. Our team members are always available to help you out in the stores, but we also put together this short video about choosing and serving soft-ripened cheese, like brie. Check it out and if you are inspired, try out our awesome exclusive brie from Isigny Ste. Mère, a co-operative of 700 farmers in Normandy, France. This holiday Brie is unique because it contains 60% butterfat, a formula customized especially for Whole Foods Market. Let us know what you think about it!
