    First, A Bit About Brie

    ✔ Brie is a soft, creamy, buttery cow's-milk cheese which originated in France. It is encased in a tougher white, bloomy mouldy rind which CAN be eaten. It is actually considered a delicacy.

    ✔ Brie cheese can also be made using goats milk.

    ✔ It's high in fat and protein and very similar to camembert cheese in that it's also a soft-ripened cheese that also is made with an edible white rind mold.

    ✔ It is best served at room temperature with a crusty baguette or crackers and fruit.

    ✔ It can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks or frozen for up to three months.

    What wine pairs well with brie?

    Brie is versatile and mild in flavor so it pairs nicely with many kinds of wine including reds AND whites.

    Here are some options:

    • Beaujolais
    • cabernet franc
    • cabernet sauvignon
    • merlot
    • pinot noir
    • zinfandel
    • chardonnay
    • riesling
    • sauvignon blanc
