Organic Garage (TSX-V:OG) Ltd announced that its plant-based food company, Future of Cheese Inc, has launched naturally ripened plant-based brie to retailers in Ontario.
The brie is made using all-natural, organic, non-genetically modified organisms (GMO) ingredients, the company said. It is specially ripened using traditional aging processes developed by the company’s globally recognized Maître Fromager.

“With traditional cheese-making techniques and proper climate-controlled aging rooms, we have crafted an organic, all-natural ripened plant-based brie,” said Afrim Pristine, co-founder of Maître Fromager. “Every brie wheel is produced in our humidity-controlled environment for 21 days, and we are proud to expand our product line to include this world-class plant-based brie.”
The Toronto-based company’s culinary team, led by chef and co-founder Craig Harding and Pristine, has developed the plant-based brie using only five ingredients, and without the use of fillers, gums, or starches, to produce what the company believes is the cleanest ingredients list on the market.
The brie is enclosed in a biodegradable package, designed to continue the ripening process and mature the cheese throughout its shelf lifespan, and will retail in Canada for $13.99.
“We have spent a lifetime mastering the art of cheesemaking and gleaning our culinary expertise from the best in the world,” Harding said in a statement.
He added: “Now we’re applying this knowledge to produce the world’s most exceptional plant-based cheeses, starting with our version of a traditional delicate brie, complete with a ripened rind, mild flavour, and velvety smooth texture.”
The Future of Cheese is a Canadian plant-based cheese innovator and manufacturer, utilizing unique aging and manufacturing processes, a well-established distribution network, and high-profile marketing channels.
