Brie de Meaux is a big, round, soft gourmet French cheese, has a velvet white mold rind, which changes to a pinkish-beige during the ripening process.

Brie de Meaux is one of the French 'Le Roi des Fromages' (The King of Cheeses) and comes from a particular area in the Ile-de-France near Paris. It is an ancient cheese; the oldest evidence of Brie de Meaux is found in the chronicles of Charlemagne.

The maturation process of this classic gourmet cheese takes 8 weeks. Brie de Meaux has a slightly bitter taste when left to unfold, develops into a completely soft, hazelnut and fruit flavor.

We cut and wrap this cheese in wedges of approximately 1 pound and 8 ounces.
