Brie de Meaux is a soft French cheese made from cow's milk. The flat cheese has a delicate rind covered in white mold. It matures in cellars on straw mats in the Île-de-France area near Paris for at least four weeks. This particular variety of Brie is the most famous of all, and in the past, it has been known as the cheese of royalty and well-off people.
It is important to let the Brie reach room temperature before consumption in order to fully appreciate its range of flavors - moldy, mushroomy, nutty, and fruity. The cheese is commonly used in French culinary specialties such as Galettes briardes and Bouchées á la reine au Brie.
Pair it with Champagne or full-bodied red wines.
