What's The Oldest Continually Running Cheese Company In The Country?

Marin French Cheese began as the Civil War was ending. The Petaluma, Calif., company, the oldest continually running cheese company in the country, has crafted European-style brie and Camembert since 1865. A version of the Petite Breakfast cheese, a 4-inch disk of buttery, unripened brie, was served in saloons around San Francisco during the California Gold Rush.

The creamery uses a mix of local cow’s milk and hand-crafts cheese without preservatives or additives. Among the selections is the Petite Collection, 4-ounce rounds of triple cremes that resemble mini cheese wheels and come in choices like Petite Cream, which is rich and smooth, and an earthy-tasting Petite Truffle ($5.99 to $6.99 each).
