Brie de Meaux AOC

A full and fruity raw milk cheese, traditionally made to artisan methods. A soft, unctuous texture with easy yet complex, nutty flavours make this cheese one of our customers’ favourites. Very pale yellow when ripe, with a white rind.  Between 21-25 litres of milk are used to produce a single Brie de Meaux which when finished weighs around 2.5kg. The cheeses are dry-salted and allowed to mature or “Affinage” on reed mats, in cool, but not cold conditions, with the greatest care being taken to ensure that the fragile cheeses are brought up to peak condition. Granted AOC status in 1980, 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 production.
