Brie De Meaux: Soft And Creamy French Cheese With A Place In History
The Brie De Meaux is the closest you can get to the real thing when you talk about the type cheese that was served in the tables of emperors and kings during the Middle Ages. This French cheese is light in the mouth, with a mushroomy and grassy taste.
In the 19th century, the Brie De Meaux was considered as the cheese of the kings, as it was often preferred by Diplomats because it tastes rich and luxurious in the mouth, but not cloyingly buttery. In fact in 1814, the Brie De Meaux played an important role in creating world peace – during a heated Vienna meeting, the Frenchman Talleyrand proposed a friendly competition among parties to know which country produced the best cheese in the world.
An English Lord lobbied for the English Stilton, while a Swiss gentleman convinced the rest that Switzerland’s Emmenthal was the best. Talleyrand fell silent until a man arrived with his contender, the Brie De Meaux. As a historian puts it, the Brie De Meaux rendered its cream to the knife and turned the evening into a feast, and no man argued the point since then.
However, even before that incident in the Congress of Vienna the Brie De Meaux has already carved its name in the books of history. Documents have it that the emperor Charlemagne has tasted the Brie De Meaux in the year 774. On top of that, facing the guillotine in the upshots of the French Revolution, Louis XVI has expressed as final wish a last taste of the Brie De Meaux before his execution.
As its name implies, the Brie De Meaux originated from the region of Brie about 50 kilometers east of Paris. It used to be strictly a Parisian cheese, but has now become far more widespread due the spread of railways. However, the AOC made sure that the Brie De Meaux is produced in certain provinces near Paris only so that consistency and quality is ensured.
Raw and unpasteurized cow’s milk is used to make the Brie De Meaux. This cheese is deliciously creamy because an abundant 23 liters of milk are used in each wheel. Yes it is heated during the renneting stage, but it is not cooked. Abiding twelve centuries of tradition, the Brie de Meaux is molded by hand using a “pelle a brie”, or a perforated ladle.
The Brie De Meaux tastes soft and creamy to the tongue, without being too buttery. It has to be allowed to breathe in room temperature before eating, in order to appreciate its rich flavor of hazelnut and fruit. If you want to dine like royalty, a slice of the Brie De Meaux and a glass of red Bordeaux or Champagne is all you need. Eat like a king and try the Brie De Meaux today!
