Cheese Details

	Brie de Meaux Coming from the region of Brie some 50km East of Paris, Brie de Meaux has a soft velvety texture with a tender bloomy rind. The rich golden paté that conveys a range of earthy tones contrasts supremely with the texture of the crust. The ideal condition to enjoy this cheese is with the centre of it not too ripe but still slightly firm, yet with the edges of the cheese almost melting. Acquiring this perfect combination requires the skill of a maturer and ripening rooms with the right coolness and humidity to allow the crust to keep its fluffy bloom and the inside of the cheese to become moist and melting.

Champagne and Ile-de-France
Geographically, this is quite a small region, however in cheese terms it is of real significance, being home to the authentic fermier Bries. Ile-de-France has become industrialised and is now home to many workers who commute into Paris for work. There is little space for grazing cows, what little agricultural land there is has usually fallen prey to corn or sugar beet. Hence very little “true” Brie is made here anymore, most is factory made in Lorraine.
