What it is
This is a soft-ripened cheese with a bloomy rind, offering a mild, buttery flavor and a creamy texture. It is made from cow's milk and aged to develop its characteristic taste and aroma. The cheese is typically round and flat, with a white, edible rind that softens as the cheese ripens. Its delicate nature makes it a versatile addition to various culinary creations.
How people cook with it
Brie is a popular cheese for both simple snacking and more elaborate dishes. It melts beautifully, making it ideal for warm applications.
- Served on a cheese board
- Baked with toppings
- Added to sandwiches
- Melted into sauces
To best enjoy this brie, allow it to come to room temperature before serving. This softens the cheese and enhances its creamy texture and full flavor. It can be sliced and served on crackers or bread, or used as a decadent topping for baked goods. For a warm treat, bake the entire wheel until it is gooey and spreadable, perhaps with a drizzle of honey or some chopped nuts.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other soft cheeses, this Parisian style brie offers a particularly smooth and yielding texture when ripe. Its rind is thin and delicate, contributing a subtle earthy note without overpowering the creamy interior.

How to keep the rest
After opening, wrap any remaining cheese tightly in plastic wrap or cheese paper. Store it in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a few days to maintain its optimal texture and flavor.
