Brie cheese, often dubbed the "Queen of Cheeses," is a soft-ripened cheese originating from the Brie region of France. It is made from cow's milk and features a creamy interior encased in an edible white rind, thanks to the mold Penicillium candidum. Brie is praised for its mild, buttery flavor with subtle earthy undertones, making it a versatile addition to both sweet and savory dishes. Nutritionally, Brie is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting muscle and bone health. It also contains beneficial fats, but its high saturated fat content means it should be enjoyed in moderation. Vitamins such as B12 and riboflavin further enhance its nutritional profile. Due to its richness, Brie is best eaten in small portions, either with fruit, nuts, or whole-grain bread. Whether part of a cheese board or melted into recipes, Brie remains a timeless favorite for food enthusiasts worldwide.
