Did you know?
Brie is often called the “Queen of Cheeses” and dates back to 8th century France.
The white rind is edible and made from Penicillium candidum, which helps age the cheese.
Authentic Brie is traditionally made with raw milk in France, but pasteurized versions are common elsewhere.
Brie becomes softer and more flavorful as it ripens.
Drawbacks ⚠️
High in saturated fats, which can impact heart health if consumed in large amounts.
Low in fiber, so it’s best served with fruit or whole grains.
Soft cheeses like Brie may pose a risk for pregnant people if unpasteurized.
