Brie de Meaux

A bloomy rind cheese from France. Brie de Meaux is not just any brie, it's the brie. This soft white-rind cheese made from raw cow’s milk with AOP protection has been made for centuries in the region around Meaux, just east of Paris. Its thin, edible white-mold rind wraps around a supple, almost liquid core that spreads beautifully at room temperature. The flavor is mild and refined, with earthy, mushroom-like notes and a subtle richness of fresh butter.

Served at room temperature, this cheese truly comes into its own. The center becomes soft and spreadable, perfect for slathering onto a piece of fresh baguette. Brie de Meaux was already praised by Charlemagne as one of the finest cheeses in the world. After all those centuries, nothing has changed.

Pairs well with: a glass of Champagne, a light Burgundy or a dry cider. Serve at room temperature with fresh baguette, walnuts or a drizzle of truffle honey. Also check out our Fromage d'Affinois for an even creamier soft cheese, or the Camembert Gaslonde for a bolder Normandy-style alternative.
