Brie de Melun

The full description of this designation is still being verified against the EU register.

Tasting notes

Île-de-France cow's milk soft bloomy-rind cheese aged minimum 4 weeks, smaller and saltier than Brie de Meaux. White-streaked rust-spotted rind, ivory paste, soft texture, robustly aromatic flavor with intense farmyard notes and salty-savory finish — more rustic than Brie de Meaux.

HoReCa use

Plateau de fromages alongside Brie de Meaux for contrast; preferred by French amateurs for character; pairs with bold reds (Bourgogne, Châteauneuf-du-Pape).
