If you want to delight your guests at your next dinner party, make these Dates Stuffed with Warm Brie Cheese and topped with Pistachios and Pomegranates. This vegetarian appetizer is crazy warm, creamy, crunchy, and tangy at the same time. Simply irresistible!
Cheese is probably one of the main go-to items people choose for entertaining. It's easy, it's delicious, it's decadent, and with so many varieties, it's an almost guaranteed crowd pleaser.
For those who keep kosher however, it can get a little tricky.
Kosher cheeses aren't always easy to find. Grocery stores normally offer a very limited selection for every day use, but lack the more "gourmet" varieties that are better suited for entertaining.
That's why discovering Les Petites Fermieres cheeses is like finding a hidden treasure.
If the existence of flavorful, rich and delicious kosher cheeses was once a well kept secret, unwrap Les Petittes Fermiers and taste for yourself.
Inspired by their founder’s culinary experiences growing up in France (who we have actually had the pleasure to meet), this line features farm-fresh cheeses that awaken emotion. From creamy Mozzarella to authentic Gouda and fiery Pepper Jack, Les Petites Fermieres brings you a world of delicious cheeses and abundant choices. With more than 40 selections, you’re sure to find the perfect cheese for every occasion.
Les Petites Fermieres™ cheeses are kosher certified by the OK.
Hope you enjoy this festive recipe we've prepared for you!

Just ask me how "easy" to find a good kosher cheese 🙂 By the way, did you mean "by the OU" not "by the OK"?

I loooove brie and my favorite way to eat it is en croute. I've never though of stuffing dates with brie, it's such a marvelous idea! I'm just wondering why you suggest removing the rind, it is edible.
Vicky & Ruth says
Thank you Chanie, we suggested removing the rind just as a matter of texture. You are more than welcome to keep it on.
