Expert Tip
Saba is a secret ingredient of chefs and foodies alike. Made from grape must, it adds a caramelized grape flavor. No saba? Substitute with a balsamic vinaigrette.
Explore The Pairing
Saba Vinaigrette
Enjoy flavors that once dazzled the palates of pharaohs and emperors. An ancient condiment that was popular in the Roman and Egyptian periods, Saba has an incredible fruity flavor with notes of grapes, plums and raisins, but without the pungency associated with traditional balsamic vinegars.
Tip
No Saba? Just use Balsamic Vinegar instead.
Président Brie
We found a tantalizing way to make our Brie even creamier. The warm, luscious and extra creamy texture of grilled Brie is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser. Its delicious and buttery flavor, combined with the sweetness of the plums is delightfully rich, yet never overpowering.
Tip
For a lighter dish, try Brie Round Light. Or change it up with Camembert.
Plums
The proverbial “cherry on top” may soon be replaced by the plum. The melt-in-your-mouth creaminess of the grilled Brie is perfectly accented by the fresh, fruity texture of the plums. This sweet and savory well-known flavor combination is elevated to delicious new heights that will be a pleasant surprise for all your guests.
Tip
The citrusy hops used in bitter beers will complement the fruitiness of the plums and Saba.
Grilled Baguette
As host, your only problem will be getting enough for yourself. Grilling the bread brings out the subtle smokiness of the Brie. Texturally it provides a delicate crunch that is all the more enticing when married to the warm cheese and juicy plums.
