Brie Noir de Nanteuil

www.epicery.com/search?q=AndrouetBrie Noir de Nanteuil is a distinctive French cheese hailing from Nanteuil-lès-Meaux in the Île-de-France region. This unique variety of Brie undergoes an extended aging process, ranging from six to twelve months, which imparts its characteristic dark color and robust flavor.
The prolonged maturation allows the rind to develop a brownish hue, while the interior paste transforms from its original creamy yellow to a deeper beige or brown shade, becoming drier and more brittle in texture. The flavor profile intensifies over time, offering pronounced, earthy notes reminiscent of aged cheeses like Parmesan or old Mimolette.
Traditionally, Brie Noir was created to utilize surplus Brie that had surpassed its optimal ripeness, thus preventing waste and providing a unique taste experience. Today, it stands as a testament to the rich cheesemaking heritage of the Seine-et-Marne department, offering connoisseurs a bold and memorable flavor journey.
