Cow's milk

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.
