Brie is a soft, luscious cheese that is enveloped in a downy white rind. Its creamy flavor and buttery interior is easy to spread and melts seductively when warm. Brie is delicious when paired with tart fruits, hearty breads and crunchy nuts. As an ingredient, Brie compliments rich sauces, adds zest to fluffy quiches and turns ordinary stuffing into a moist treat.


America"s love affair with Brie started in 1936 when our company imported this delicacy in the United States for the first time, on the ocean liner named Ile de France. Ile de France is expanding beyond traditional Brie cheese : click below to discover our many varieties.

Gourmet Tips for Brie:

- Most Brie found in supermarkets and gourmet food shops is already ripe and,
when cut, should be almost runny and oozing.

- Always remove cheese from the refrigerator about 30 minutes to one hour before
serving. Like a fine wine, Brie should be served at room temperature in order for the full
flavors to be revealed.

- Brie can be served by the wedge or by the wheel (for larger gatherings) with the rind
intact. A wheel should be cut like a cake; a wedge should be cut in slices lengthwise, not
across it. A small cheese knife can be used to cut the Brie; if the Brie is especially runny,
dip the cheese knife in hot water, so the cheese won't stick to it.
Brie is perishable and, depending on how ripe it is when you buy it, should be used
within one to two weeks.
