Brie is a soft fat cheese with white noble mould, made from cow’s milk.
It has an elegant, expressive, rich creamy taste, deliciously
mild and aromatic. It is an excellent dessert cheese that is served
at room temperature or slightly warmed. It complements well fruits,
dried tomatoes and fine pastries. For a special gourmet experience,
we recommend to serve it with honey, tasty jams or fruit spreads.
Of course, wines such as sparkling wine, Traminer and Riesling and
fresh varieties of Istrian Malvasia, Chardonnay, Sauvignon,
Riesling and Traminac make an excellent pair with its precious
flavour.
Brie is available in 200 g and 3 kg packages.
The story of origin
It is Brie de Melun that has been known since the 8th century as
the "King's Cheese." Legend has it that the most famous Frankish
king Charlemagne, who is also one of the famous historical
gourmets, simply adored it. Over the centuries, in addition to the
aristocracy, cheese gained popularity with ordinary people as well.
So finally, in 1815, at the proposal of the French diplomat by the
name of Talleyrand brie was officially proclaimed the king of
cheeses ("roi de fromages") at the Vienna Congress, where the
future borders of European countries were decided on after the
defeat of Napoleon's troops.
