Title: Brie & Camembert Paste - How Make Without Bloomy Rind?
Post by: Homestead on February 05, 2011, 01:50:06 AM
I love Brie but my husband is not a fan.  He doesn't like the outer "mold" parts.  So my question is what cheese could I make that would be similar to the center of brie.  Also, crazy question but could you make brie and ripen it some other way with maybe a natural rind or vacuum sealed?

Hi,

It's the outer mold that ripens the cheese and gives it the flavour.  Without the mold, you wouldn't have the taste and texture that makes the cheese brie.  He could cut the rind off and just eat the paste if he likes that bit.

There are washed rind "melted" inside type of cheeses but they also have a strong odor from a linens if thats whats buging him.
