Tradition and Character

Fromage de Meaux continues the legacy of Brie de Meaux’s ancient methods, including hand-ladling the curds and slow ripening under controlled conditions. The cheese maintains the classic large diameter and thin profile of traditional Brie, and ripens gradually to develop a bloomy white rind and a lusciously creamy interior.

Even with pasteurized milk, it captures the essence of the Brie terroir, offering a rich, full-flavored cheese experience that is slightly milder than its raw milk counterpart, but still deeply satisfying.

Flavor and Texture

• Texture: Fromage de Meaux has a silky, supple paste that becomes luxuriously runny beneath the rind as it ripens, while the heart remains slightly firmer when young.

• Flavor: The taste is buttery, mushroomy, and mildly earthy, with hints of fresh cream and hazelnuts. As it matures, the flavors deepen, offering a subtle funkiness and a gentle sweetness at the core. It is more approachable than a full Brie de Meaux, making it perfect for a broader audience.

Similar Cheeses

• Brie de Meaux: Made with raw milk, offering stronger, more complex earthy flavors when fully matured.

• Brie de Melun: Firmer and saltier, with a stronger, more rustic aroma.

• Coulommiers: Smaller, thicker, and creamier, with a slightly sweeter profile.

Pairing Suggestions

• Food: Best served with a simple baguette, fig jam, or fresh pears. It also pairs wonderfully with toasted nuts or a light salad of young greens.

• Wine: Pairs beautifully with a light, creamy Chardonnay, a white Burgundy, or a delicate Pinot Noir. For a more traditional match, try it with a Champagne for a perfect contrast to its richness.
