Brie (/briË/ ; [bÊi]) is a soft cow's milk cheese named after Brie, the French region from which it originated (roughly corresponding to the modern departement dÃ©partement Of-seine-Et). Marne it is pale in color with a slight grayish tinge under a rind of white. moldhe curd is obtained by adding rennet to raw milk and warming it to a maximum temperature of 37 Â°C (99 Â°F). The cheese is then cast into molds, sometimes with a traditional perforated ladle called a pelle a Ã . Brie the 20 (cm 8) in mold is filled with several thin layers of cheese and drained for approximately 18. hours
The white brie rind is mold formed from penicillium candidum or penicillium camemberti. The mold is harmless unless you are very allergic to mold. A brie's rind should feel firm and silky, not hard and crusty. It has an earthy taste and can be eaten alone or mixed on the bread with the cheese.
