Brie de Meaux - Donge
Brie de Meaux, one of the “kings of cheeses”, stands out with its smooth, voluptuous, but not quite runny texture and its creamy taste. Like fine wine, Brie de Meaux owes its complexity and inherent character to the unique combination of climate and micro-flora of the region in which it is produced – Ile de France. A gorgeous cheese and definitely one for the cheese board!
Brie de Meaux is made in flattened discs weighing roughly 900g to 3.2kg each. It has a white rind with pinkish-beige mottling which distinguishes it from many of its copies. The paste has a glossy straw colour which deepens to warm ivory and which at its peak should bulge but not run. The taste is complex with a nutty, fruity flavour. An amazingly tasty and delightful cheese
