Marin French has been crafting Breakfast Brie since the late 1800s. For over a century, this distinctively fresh cheese has captured the hearts of locals, visitors, and cheese lovers nationwide. What makes it a “fresh brie”? It follows the same traditional recipe and artisanal cheesemaking methods as the company’s other brie styles, but it skips the aging process. The result is a fresh, rindless cheese with a tangy flavor and a slightly springy texture reminiscent of cheese curds.

Breakfast Brie has a storied past. Originally created as a protein-rich alternative for former gold miners turned Bay Area dock workers, the cheese rose to fame during a regional egg shortage in the late 1800s. Recognizing a need, founder Jefferson Thompson crafted a quick-to-market cheese with a catchy name that also happened to be delicious. More than a century later, there's still nothing quite like it. Whether it’s enjoyed at sunrise or as a late-night snack, Petite Breakfast brings a flavorful piece of California history to the table.
