Petit Suisse


I've been craving the dessert cheese called Petit Suisse ever since I came back from France. Not anymore. This past weekend, a person who is quite aware of my passion for cheese spooned a dollop of this Trader Joes's product into my mouth. Et Voila! If you'd like to try this as a dessert, Petit Suisse is served with a sprinkle of sugar on the top. Maybe a couple of raspberries or a sliced strawberry on the side. Or a square of chocolate. And think small. We're talking rich. The real Petit Suisse comes in containers the size of a shot glass. After you finish one, you're drunk on cheese.
