Chili Gournay Cheese
The Chili Gournay Cheese from PT. Pasti Enak adds a bold, spicy kick to the classic spreadable style. Handcrafted with traditional French methods and short-aged for depth, this variety blends the creamy base of Gournay with the heat of chili peppers. As a result, it delivers a cheese that is both fiery and smooth, offering excitement without losing its buttery character.
Flavor and Texture
This cheese is mild and creamy at its core, yet the chili brings warmth and intensity. In addition, the buttery base softens the spice, creating balance between heat and richness. The spreadable texture makes it easy to enjoy on bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables. Moreover, its tangy undertone ensures that the chili flavor feels lively rather than overwhelming.
Production Style
We follow traditional French cheesemaking techniques while incorporating chili peppers that reflect Indonesian terroir. Therefore, the cheese embodies authenticity while embracing local character. The short aging period allows the chili to infuse naturally into the creamy paste. Consequently, every bite feels artisanal and distinctive.
Culinary Uses
Chili Gournay adapts beautifully to many recipes. For example, spread it on warm tortillas or crusty bread for a quick snack. In addition, it can be blended into dips, stirred into pasta sauces, or used as a spicy layer in sandwiches. Because of its bold profile, it also works well in Mexican-inspired dishes, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables. Furthermore, it elevates cheese boards by adding a vibrant, spicy option.
Pairings
This cheese pairs effortlessly with rustic breads, crisp vegetables, and charcuterie. In addition, it complements drinks such as robust beers, sparkling water, or fruity red wines. For example, pairing it with fresh tomatoes or cucumbers highlights its freshness, while cured meats emphasize its savory depth. Similarly, tropical fruits can balance the spice with sweetness.
