Brie is a soft French cheese made from cow's milk. It is characterized by its creamy interior and a white edible rind, which develops through the process of aging. The cheese has a mild, buttery flavor, often with a hint of nuttiness, making it a popular choice for cheese boards, pairings with fruits, or simply enjoyed on its own. Brie is versatile and can be served at room temperature, enhancing its creaminess, or baked for a warm, gooey experience, often accompanied by baguette slices.
