Frequently Asked Questions
Can you eat the rind on brie?
Yes, brie's white rind is edible and safe to eat. It's actually a type of mold (Penicillium candidum) that adds flavor. Many people enjoy it, though some prefer just the interior.
How do you know when brie is ripe?
Ripe brie yields slightly to gentle pressure and has a creamy, almost runny interior. The center shouldn't be chalky. Aroma should be earthy, not ammonia-like.
Should brie be served cold or warm?
Brie is best at room temperature when its flavors and creamy texture shine. Remove from refrigerator 1 hour before serving. Baked brie is also excellent.
