Brie de Meaux A.O.C. is one of the French "Le Roi des Fromages" (The King of Cheeses) and comes from an area near Paris. It is an ancient cheese; the oldest evidence is found in the chronicles of Charlemagne.
Brie de Meaux A.O.C. is a big, round, soft cheese, has a velvet white mould rind, which changes to a pinkish-beige during the ripening process.
The maturation process takes 8 weeks. Brie de Meaux has a slight bitter taste that if left to unfold, develops into a completely soft, hazelnut and fruit flavor.
We offer you a small piece freshly cut from the big wheel, but also have a larger piece of Brie de Meaux, in case you have more guests coming.
