what is the white stuff on the rind? never understood that

I'm just getting into cheese and I don't get brie. Smells slightly rotten, but tastes of almost nothing at all. Has no salt. I tried heating it up in the oven in some foil since I heard it's good hot, but it didn't melt per se, it just 'split' and the grease came out.

You can never have enough cream cheese! Unless it’s crime cheese >-:)

>>15416851
Maybe try a better quality Brie. Some are good others are shit.

>>15416851
have you tried eating it with the correct condiments? also green apple works good with brie. its the fucking shit my grandma always used to bring it out after dinner back in sweden.

>>15416870
for me its president le brie

>>15416896
president is pretty good

>>15416902
not really.

>>15416909
Gourmet version of president is better, its in no way the best brie out there but probably the best taste/price ratio.

>>15416777
Cringe.
Brie is like cheese the reddit.

>>15416932
>waaah everything i dont like is reddit

>>15416819
i dont know but its edible and it taste good

banned?

>>15416977
Just like semen

Brie tastes like how sewage smells. Love that shit.

>>15416851
>tastes of almost nothing at all
Cheap brie tends to do that.

>>15416777
checked blessed thread.
For me.
Slightly melted on crusty baguette that has been rubbed with garlic with a 15$ bottle of chardonnay.

>>15417163
huh?

>>15416777
based brie fan

>>15416819
It's basically a layer made out of dead mold and the desiccated remains of the cheese that the mold fed upon.

>>15418076
it's a shop right? there's no way her feet are that big

>>15418090

I made one of these the other day and it was based

>>15416777
Based, second only to blue stilton

best cheese here

>>15416777
imagine picking brie over a fine cave aged gouda

what are some good cheeses for someone who knows nothing about cheese

>>15418753
Seconding. I buy some french cream cheese and those little toasts and that impresses people but I have no fucking clue what I'm doing.

>>15416777
Just a really awful cheese desu

>>15418667
King of cheeses>>15418734

>>15418734
smoked gouda*

>>15418775
if you feel so

>>15416851
If you're a based Ameribro our supermarket brie is dogshit, that's why it tastes bland. You gotta source better stuff for more money then you will see the light. Go to trader joes or whole foods

>>15418753
>>15418765
honestly guys you can just go to a cheese monger and say "i'm having a cheese party and need 3 cheeses but idk what im doing pls help" and that would put you on the right path. but

manchego
stilton
camembert

Smoked caciocavallo for me. Toothy texture, smoked stuff is always good, and it finishes nice and clean on the palate. Though, it’s hard finding it sometimes

>>15416777
>that rubbery industrial shit
>brie
If it ain't made from raw milk then dont buy it.

>>15416777
It's gotta be brie de Meaux.

Gorgonzola enjoyer reporting in.

>>15416777
Why yes american cheese is my favorite. How could you tell?

>>15419642
Carrefour carry that? Around here they mostly have that brand's overpriced pasta and some canned stuff.

>>15416777
Anyone here used brie in a cheese sauce before?
I am making a sauce for fish later and I have some brie in the fridge.
Any reason why this wouldn't work?

>>15418547
the fuck you think cheese is?

>>15420053
Carrefour has some housebrand raw milk brie here.

>>15419462
>go to Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods
What a fucking retard, go to a cheese shop or a grocer that has a specialty cheese selection. Don’t fucking go to some stupid shit hole.

>>15420087
Most Americans have zero perception of where their food comes from or what it actually is. That’s why so many children are shocked to learn that meat is animals and the vegetarian/vegan groups take advantage and use emotions to convince them it’s bad to eat animals (when, if done correctly, farming isn’t really a bad thing - it’s just factory farming that’s problematic for a myriad of reasons).
It’s also why so many turn up their noses at blue cheese, because it’s “literally mold”. I’m saying all this as an American myself. It really all depends on the region as the US is a big place, but most suburban/urban places have no real connection to where their food comes from whatsoever.

>>15420236
Being a contrarian retard immediately outs you as not knowing what you're talking about. Whole foods has a good specialty selection at a huge markeup and trader joes has a shit selection of interesting and cheaper cheeses.

>>15420295
It’s much better if it’s imported and not made by some snobby faggots for cripplingly retarded suburbanites

>>15418547

What's the difference between brie and camembert?

>>15420350
The cum, obviously

>>15416851
faggot
>>15416777
i love fresh goat cheese

>>15420350
Brie is a slice form a bigger roll, while camembert is a little roll on its own. Generally the later is stronger and the aging works faster on a smaller cheese.

>>15420520
You can get brie made as smaller wheels. The difference is brie has more cream.

>>15417180
you haven't tried my semen i don't think you'd like it

>>15416932
>cheese the reddit

>>15419971
its gonna have to a based from me

>>15417188
>I love that shit

>>15416777
Brie, some rye bread, and fresh crunchy grapes is one of my favorite lunches.

>>15416777
Pegasus is displeased at being interrupted while he's enjoying his favorite Gorgonzola cheese, the world's finest fruit juice, and his favorite comic book.

>>15420060
Try melting it in a pan by itself at high heat first

>>15421920
>horse the band

>>15416819
Bull semen, that's how you fertilize the cheese

>>15418532
that looks good as fuck

>>15418076
why is she wearing rubber feet? they're like clown shoes, my God, it's grotesque

>>15419491
yer da's a cheese monger n yer ma's a cheese-smellin hoor

>>15420213
2 euros? where I live that would be like $10

.industrial brie is based, cost as low as 1 eur per 200 grams, is sold as cheap ass 1kg wheel sometimes. just stay away from any "Président" brie, camembert or coulommiers. (well they're prolly a bit better at brie, the rest is absolute garbage)
It tastes like butter and for added degeneracy you can eat it with butter as well. That's a filler neutral cheese to stuff yourself with and eat too much of in one sitting.

another thing to do is to eat an entire camembert without even bread, with just the knife. it feels improper.
not everything has to be fine and distinguished.

>>15416851
>Has no salt
Are you sure about that?

>tfw this new meme was because of your previous cheese threads where everyone attacked brie likers.

>>15420588
I just finished a wedge of this a couple weeks ago was very good.

>>15419642

>>15418667
tasty but unfortunately very low in vitamin k2
definitely should include other cheeses in your diet.

the mold rind is gay. I don't want to have to carefully peel the rind off with a sharp knife to feel like I'm not wasting a quarter of the food I bought.

is there some name for cheese that is just brie without the stupid rind

>>15424452
youre supposed to eat the rind. the sharpness of the ammonia helps you appreciate the mild flavours of the inside.

dont be a bitch

>>15424460
It has very little taste, like an extremely mild mold-flavored cheese with the texture of a very stale cracker. I like mold cheeses well enough, the rind of brie is just worthless

>>15416777
For me it's stuffed brie

>>15416777
I tried to eat this shit at room temperature and didn't understand the appeal.

Just recently thought of baking it in the oven for a couple mins, then using it as a dip. Pretty good.

1000x better than brie

Brie is just blander Camembert

>>15426050

based

>>15421694
>proud Frenchman here, those are called "Brielettes"

>baguette
>brie
>Butter
>Rhubarb preserves
Baked in the oven until the cheese melts. Thank you France

>>15416851
If you want brie texture but more flavour try camembert. Smells bad but tastes like brie++

>>15427582

>>15418076
Nice man feet

>>15416932
What about brie makes it "reddit"

>>15420245
>shocked to learn that meat comes from animals
literally no one in america shocked to learn this

>>15418667
That’s not mimolette

>>15428393
The spacing.

I used to run a wine and cheese bar

This is a very nice way of having Brie, but the other poster is correct. If you aren’t getting Brie de Meaux, get some Camembert.

>>15428398
Nice edit, moron.

>>15416932
Rent free

>>15428580
Is that oven baked?
Did you add any garlic and wine?

>>15416777
I ate 2 blocks of cheese in 2 nights and the diarrhoea has been relentless.

Uh, Gamalostbros?
