Marin French Cheese

Born in the heart of California in 1865, Marin French Cheese Co. is deeply rooted in the founding history of the American West. That same year, our iconic Petite Breakfast was created: a small fresh cheese, designed to nourish workers around San Francisco Bay at a time when eggs were scarce.

Since then, Marin French Cheese Co. has brought together, with the utmost care, artisanal tradition and a spirit of innovation. Each cheese embodies a unique know-how and invites you on a journey of flavour and heritage.

Our featured products

Petite Breakfast

Petite Breakfast is our signature cheese, born in the late 19th century from a blend of creativity and necessity. This fresh brie — without a bloomy rind and not cellar-aged — stands out for its creamy texture, both supple and slightly rich, and its delicately tangy flavour. It can be enjoyed just as easily with a drizzle of honey as it can be elevated in a flame-grilled burger.

Le Triple Crème Brie

This exceptional cheese brought American Brie into the spotlight, outperforming European cheeses at the 2005 World Cheese Awards. Made with local milk, cultures from our own terroir and enriched with cream, it features a rich, melt-in-the-mouth paste beneath a delicate white rind.

Le Golden Gate

Golden Gate — named after the iconic bridge leading to our ranch in Marin County — is a true expression of its terroir. This triple-cream cheese, hand-rubbed several times during ageing with a simple blend of water and salt, develops a supple, rich and flavourful paste, with a rind that evokes the golden hills of our ranch.
