The most famous of all Bries & still traditionally artisan made. Made just 30 miles east of Paris in the region of Ile-de-France. Brie de Meaux can trace its history back to the beginning of the 1800’s when it was declared “ The King of Cheeses” at a culinary tournament during the Congress of Vienna. Brie de Meaux is one of only 40 French Cheeses to have an AOC label, which ensures the quality of a cheese as well as where & how it is made. Brie de Meaux is made with unpasteurised cow’s milk using traditional animal rennet. The curd must be hand ladled into the moulds & each cheese must be dry salted then ripened slowly at a specific temperature & humidity.
