'''Brie de Meaux''' is a soft [[cheese]] made from [[cow's milk]]. It is named after the town of [[Meaux]] in the [[Île-de-France]] region of [[France]]. This cheese has been granted the [[Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée]] (AOC) status since 1980, which ensures that it is produced in a specific region and follows traditional methods.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Brie de Meaux has a long history dating back to the time of [[Charlemagne]], who is said to have tasted and enjoyed this cheese. It was also a favorite at the [[Congress of Vienna]] in 1815, where it was declared the "King of Cheeses."<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
The production of Brie de Meaux involves several steps. The milk is first heated and then curdled using [[rennet]]. The curds are cut and placed into molds, where they are drained of whey. The cheese is then salted and aged for 8-10 weeks. During the aging process, the cheese develops a white, bloomy rind and a soft, creamy interior.<br />
<br />
== Characteristics ==<br />
Brie de Meaux has a pale yellow interior with a soft, creamy texture. The rind is white and bloomy, formed by the mold [[Penicillium candidum]]. The flavor is rich and buttery with earthy and nutty undertones. The cheese has a strong aroma, which becomes more pronounced as it ages.<br />
<br />
== Serving ==<br />
Brie de Meaux is typically served at room temperature to allow its full flavor to develop. It can be enjoyed on its own, with [[bread]], or as part of a [[cheese platter]]. It pairs well with [[fruits]], [[nuts]], and a variety of [[wines]], particularly [[Champagne]], [[Bordeaux]], and [[Burgundy]].<br />
