Find Similar Products to Brie de Meaux AOC
The king of soft cheese — the authentic French Brie that the industrial imitations can only dream of becoming.
What makes Brie de Meaux AOC distinctive?
Brie de Meaux is the protected-name benchmark that most Brie imitations aspire to — and fall far short of. Made from raw cow's milk in the Seine-et-Marne region east of Paris, it has AOC status requiring specific producers, raw milk, and traditional hand-ladling techniques. At peak ripeness, a wheel of Brie de Meaux is entirely different from supermarket Brie: supple, yielding paste that almost flows, an edible rind with earthy, white mushroom aromas, and flavours that range from fresh cream through to a complex, savoury depth. Available from Neal's Yard Dairy, La Fromagerie, and specialist cheesemongers.
