About Cheese, brie
Brie is the soft, creamy cheese with the edible white bloomy rind and a mild, buttery, faintly mushroomy flavor that grows richer as it ripens and softens. A cheeseboard favorite, it's lovely at room temperature, baked until molten, or paired with fruit and crackers.
It's a rich cheese — high in fat and calories, with good protein, calcium, phosphorus and B12. Compared with hard, aged cheeses it tends to be a little lower in sodium, though it's still an indulgent food rather than an everyday one.
Brie is best enjoyed for what it is: a soft, luxurious cheese to savor in modest amounts, ideally allowed to come to room temperature so its flavor and texture can shine.
