Brie: Originating from the Ile-de-France region, Brie De Meaux was first created by monks of the priory of Rueil en Brie in the middle ages. In 774 the French Emperor stopped at the priory and discovered the cheese it pleased him so much he asked for regular deliveries to his castle in Aachen. Hence the cheese was known as the king of cheese.
This cheese when young can handle strong rich mature reds, it also pairs well with wines that have a slightly nutty flavour. As the cheese matures, chardonnay and bubbles are a good companion.
Your nose and palate can tell you a great deal about the flavour and aroma of a cheese. The cheese is best served at room temperature and the wine not to cold.
The flavours vary between pleasant, clear, fresh, sweet, sour, while mouldy, grassy, ammonia and even barn like characteristics are found in some cheeses. The different characteristics and aromas come from the type of milk used, how it is made and how it is matured.
