Description

Brie cheese wheel is a soft-paste cheese with a bloomy rind, known for its creamy texture and delicately mild, buttery flavor, with a slightly fruity and earthy note. It is traditionally presented in the form of a wheel covered by a thin, white, edible mold crust, which contributes to its ripening and unique flavor.

This cheese originates from the Brie region of France, where it has been crafted for centuries using artisanal methods that highlight its quality and organic characteristics.

Regarding its properties, Brie cheese is a good source of protein, calcium, and healthy fats. Its content of vitamin A and B12 makes it a nutritious food that provides benefits for bone health and the immune system. Furthermore, its creamy texture makes it ideal for melting or for eating directly, accompanying fruits, breads, or as part of cheese boards.

In different Hispanic American countries, Brie cheese is also known as queso brie, but in some places it may be found simply as soft aged cheese or French soft cheese, although the term "queso brie" is generally understood and used.
