Indulge in the creamy, buttery richness of Notre Dame Brie, a classic soft-ripened cheese that brings authentic French elegance to your table. This traditional French brie features a bloomy white rind that encases a luxuriously smooth, pale yellow interior that becomes increasingly creamy as it ripens at room temperature.
Notre Dame Brie offers the characteristic mild, earthy flavor with subtle mushroom notes that brie lovers cherish. The texture is beautifully soft and spreadable when properly ripened, making it perfect for cheese boards, wine pairings, or casual entertaining. This versatile cheese pairs wonderfully with crusty French bread, fresh fruits like grapes and pears, or a drizzle of honey. For wine enthusiasts, it complements both light red wines like Pinot Noir and crisp white wines such as Chardonnay or Champagne.
Beyond serving as an elegant appetizer, Notre Dame Brie excels in cooking applications. Bake it whole with garlic and herbs for a crowd-pleasing warm dip, incorporate it into creamy pasta sauces, or use it in sophisticated grilled cheese sandwiches. The cheese melts beautifully, making it ideal for quiches, tarts, and flatbreads. For best results, remove the brie from refrigeration 30-60 minutes before serving to allow it to reach optimal creamy texture. Store properly wrapped in the refrigerator and consume within a few days of opening for the finest flavor and texture experience.
