Brie

Brie (/briː/; French: [bʁi]) is a type of soft cheese named after the French region from which it originated (the "Brie" region). It is pale in color with a slight grayish tinge under a rind of white mold. The rind is typically eaten, with its flavor depending largely upon the ingredients used and its manufacturing environment.

Etymology

The term "Brie" is derived from the region in France where it was originally created. The region itself was named after the Celtic tribe, the Brigantes, who inhabited the area during the Iron Age.
