Brie de Meaux AOC (Whole Cheese)

A full and fruity raw milk cheese, traditionally made to artisan methods. A soft, unctuous texture and easy yet complex, nutty flavour make this cheese one of our customers' favourites. Very pale yellow when ripe, with a white rind. Between 21-23 litres of milk are used to produce a single Brie de Meaux. The cheeses are dry-salted and allowed to mature on reed mats for up to eight weeks. With its AOC status, Brie de Meaux, can only come from a tightly defined area in the Ile-de-France near Paris, a region that has maintained its rural traditions and hand-crafted productions. A whole cheese should weigh around 2.6-3 kilograms.
