Un histoire sur le
Brie
Brie is a “soft-ripened cow’s-milk cheese” whose origins arose from France. The curd of this cheese is covered in Penicillium candidum, a mold whose spores form the thin crust so characteristic to one of the most flavorful cheeses.1 This cheese takes three to four weeks to ripen and develop an odorous and pungent aroma which many so thoroughly enjoy. The rich and delicious dish we have prepared for your selection of cheese, clutches onto this flavor and adorns it with the sweet notes of the onions and the delicious crunch of the puff pastry. We hope that you enjoy it! -Nina
