Comments about Brie - 1 lb:

We needed a soft cheese that was adaptable enough to complement various jams and honeys, and this is it. This Brie has enough personality to stand on it's own, but is exceptional with complementary fruit preserves.

Nice texture, but bland

Comments about Brie - 1 lb:

We like to serve a cheese course in the traditional way: at room temperature after a meal with 3 - 5 contrasting varieties. (Which is not to say we don't eat it many other times and ways!) There is almost always a "Brie-style" cheese as part of the mix, and this one fills that slot perfectly. Rich, creamy, really as good as Brie gets.

Comments about Brie - 1 lb:

This delicious brie cheese goes so fast that we haven't gotten to try the other recipes for it.

So creamy and silky on its own or with french bread and a Chenin Blanc or Chardonnay.

Let it sit out for 20-30 minutes before serving and then its just right.

I absolutely love igourmet, but not this

By Gribe from Northern Montana on 12/31/2007

Pros:

Delicate, Smooth

Cons:

Not much flavor, Underripe

Describe Yourself:

Foodie, Good cheese devotee

Comments about Brie - 1 lb:

This really disappointed me, because everything that I have ever gotten from igourmet has been more than great. It's probably my fault - haven't had too much experience with Brie. Was expecting something more flavorful - like Camembert. I must say, I complained & they immediately sent me a 14oz. Coulommiers. Now I have a new cheese to love.
Igourmet rocks!!

It's marvelous!
