Description

A brie from the Morin valleys, in Seine-et-Marne. Pasteurised cow's milk.

The wheel is 36 cm across and only 3 cm deep. It ripens quickly, and the flavour is bigger than the milk would suggest. A creamy paste under a white bloomy rind.

Origin: Île-de-France, France
Pasteurised cow's milk

Goes with

Pasteurised cow's MILK (96.67%), salt (1.8%), lactic ferments (1.5%), animal rennet (0.03%).

Is it the same as Brie de Meaux?

No. Brie de Meaux is a PDO cheese from the same region, made with raw milk. The Brie des Morins is made with pasteurised milk, and its shallow wheel ripens quickly, giving it a bigger flavour than its gentle smell suggests.

What should I drink with it?

A light red, such as a Pinot Noir. For an alcohol-free match, Saicho Jasmine Sparkling Tea. The buttery paste and bloomy rind bring out its floral notes, for a finish that lingers.

What goes with it?

Serve it after a roast free-range French yellow chicken, as the cheese course. For an occasion, slide thin slices of fresh black winter truffle under the rind the day before and keep it in the fridge.

How many does it serve?

A 200g piece serves two as a cheese course after dinner, or four with drinks.

The Morin Valleys of Brie, France

Brie is the land east of Paris, a wide, fertile plateau cut by two rivers, the Grand Morin and the Petit Morin. The soil is rich, the pasture lush, and the dairy herds have grazed here for centuries.

Being close to Paris made Brie. For hundreds of years, its cheeses travelled to the capital's markets and tables, and Brie became the cheese the rest of France measured itself against. The great flat wheels, wide and shallow, are a style born in these valleys.
