Bought this 15 ounce/425 gram manufactured stabilized Black Truffle Flavored Double Cream Brie from WalMart's wholesale store SamsClub here in Houston, Texas for ~USD8 before Christmas but never got around to opening it.

As Brie's have short ripening time the manufactured ones here in USA are by law made with pasteurized cow's milk and in this case cow's cream.

The "Best Before" date on side (not in pictures) was Jan 1, 2011, so I cut 3 weeks "late".

Physically the cheese has a sandwich of soft inner pate and the small pieces of truffle had floated to the top of the cheese (bottom in picture as cheese was turned to unwrap, cut piece is top up). Great flavour, quite salty, would definitely buy again, the best store bought brie or Camembert I have bought in US or Canada to-date. As it's much runnier than the ones imported from France maybe it's not stabilized?

I assume they stabilize it to stop developing and become runnier?
How do they do that?
