Make it a Double

FROMAGER D’AFFINOIS’ BELOVED PETIT D’AFFINOIS BRINGS ALL THE FLAVOUR OF ITS BIG SIBLING IN A TINY PACKAGE – AND ALL THE VERSATILITY.

Decadence needn’t be about excess. Often, it’s about that very specific indulgence, that precisely targeted satisfaction, in exactly the right amount. In many ways, such decadence perfectly describes the pleasures of Petit d’affinois. Crafted in the same fashion as the flagship Fromager d’affinois Le Fromager double cream cheese, Petit d’affinois features the same creamy, buttery taste: think textural, signature melt-in-your-mouth goodness in a size perfect for a cheeseboard for two.

One fan of Petit d’affinois is renowned pastry chef Anna Polyviou, who has held residencies at prestigious hotels like the Langham Hotel and Shangri-la Sydney, as well as London’s 5-star Claridges. Readers may recognise her from her television appearances on many shows like Dessert Masters, not to mention her regular spot as guest judge on the long-running Masterchef Australia and other programs such as I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

“I LOVE d’affinois,” says Polyviou, in reference to her newly appointed role as Fromager d’affinois ambassador. “I’m seriously excited for everyone to see what I’m creating with everyone’s favourite cheese.” One such creation is her cheese and caramelised onion tart.

This appetising little recipe sees the sweetness of the caramelised onion balanced beautifully by the smooth, buttery flavours of Petit d’affinois – a combination made only more delicious when paired with a good Prosecco or sparkling white wine.

It’s but one example of how elegant French cheese like Fromager d’affinois can be used to elevate pastry and bakery staples across the savoury-to-sweet spectrum, and how refreshing it is to bring diversity into your own delectable explorations, from tarts to Danishes and more.

Petit d’affinois is available at Coles, Woolworths, Harris Farm, and speciality stores – taste its goodness for yourself around the country at the Fromager d’affinois Good Food and Wine Show stalls through 2024!
