Brie de Nangis

Brie de Nangis is a French cheese hailing from Brie. Made from raw cow's milk, this Brie is one of the mildest and more buttery versions of the cheese. The texture is smooth and creamy, while the center is slightly chalky, but it becomes runny with aging, usually for 4 to 6 weeks.

The flavors are rich, mushroomy, vegetal, and slightly tangy from the rind, with hints of steamed cauliflower. It's recommended to pair it with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc or a bold red wine such as Merlot. Serve it with crusty bread or apple and rosemary jelly.

In the past, this cheese was produced on farms close to Nangis, hence the name. The production stopped during WWII, but it resumed in the early 1980s.
