Cheese fact
Brie de Meaux is a Brie cheese made in Meaux. The name is protected and may not be used by just any Brie producer. A Brie is always flat, round and mild in flavour. “Real” Brie is made from raw milk, but the varieties you find in supermarkets today are usually made from pasteurised milk in factories.
