Brie is a soft cheese named after the French region from which it originated. It's made from cow's milk and is known for its creamy texture, pale color, and edible rind. Brie has a mild, somewhat earthy flavor that can vary in flavor depending on the ingredients and aging process. It's a popular cheese for spreading on crackers or bread, and it pairs well with fruits like apples and grapes, as well as a variety of red and white wine. Brie is often served at room temperature, this is a great way to get the most out of the flavors.
