Title: Brie - Best Way To Enjoy?
Post by: Gustav on June 09, 2011, 05:22:44 PM
Hi again!

I am busy with my 1st Brie cheese, the mold is growing nicely on it now.
Today I saw a slice for sale in the mall & decided to buy it, but I've never eaten Brie before..... so....... Bu itself it tastes nice, but leaces a very bitter aftertaste. Is it suppose to have that? The centre is soft like thick condensed milk.

What is the RIGHT & PROPER way to enjoy this cheese?
What is the taste difference between soft & firm?

No it shouldnt be bitter, bitterness is considered a flaw in bloomy cheeses and its usually caused by over ripening.
Is it a stabilized brie?  locally made or made in france?

Maybe it is overripe, I don't know. It's made locally by on of our biggest daity producers in South Africa.
