The latest addition to Mainland’s Special Reserve Range, the new Chilli & Garlic Brie is hand crafted and full of flavour. It’s smooth and creamy and combines the perfect pairing of chilli and garlic. Whether rustling up something delicious to entertain your guests or looking foran easy go-to lunch that feels like a bit of a treat too, nothing beats a baked brie. The addition of heat enhances the chilli and garlic already in the mix — delicious — while the white rind holds up nicely to time in the oven. Pair it with some classic ingredients for a grazing platter that’s a cut above, and served with your favourite beer.
