Produced in the Île-de-France region, this traditional raw milk cheese has been awarded Appellation d’Origine Protégée (AOP) status - the French equivalent of Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) - ensuring it is made following strict, time-honoured methods that date back to the Middle Ages.
Handcrafted using raw, unpasteurised cow’s milk, Brie de Meaux AOP is ladle-moulded in multiple layers, allowing it to develop its iconic silky interior and delicate bloomy rind. Aged for at least 4 to 8 weeks, this cheese offers a beautifully balanced flavour profile, starting with subtle buttery and grassy notes, deepening into earthy, mushroomy undertones, and finishing with a rich nutty complexity. The aroma is distinct yet refined, with hints of truffle, fresh cream, and a touch of cellar-aged character.
Often referred to as the 'King of Brie,' Brie de Meaux is a staple of luxury cheeseboards, fine dining, and French gastronomy. Best enjoyed at room temperature, it pairs wonderfully with crusty baguette, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of honey. Its versatility makes it the perfect companion to Champagne, Bordeaux reds, or a crisp Chablis, elevating any gourmet experience.
