Brie is a soft, creamy cheese originating from France, specifically the Brie region. Made from cow's milk, it features a white, edible rind formed by mold and a smooth, pale interior that becomes increasingly gooey as it ripens. Brie is rich in protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle maintenance, as well as vitamin B12, which aids in energy production and nerve function. However, it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation, especially for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. Brie is a versatile cheese often enjoyed on its own, paired with fruits and nuts, or spread on bread and crackers. Its luxurious texture and mild, nutty flavor make it a staple in French cuisine and a popular addition to cheese boards worldwide.
