]]> It is safe to say that brie is one divisive cheese. Some love its taste and gooey characteristics, while others believe it isn’t the kind of cheese you can be excited about. But the thing is that a lot of people probably didn’t experience brie at its best. Because in order to do so, you need to follow some tips.

Get it To Room Temperature

Brie isn’t one of those cheeses you should eat straight out of the fridge. Brie loves warmth, so you should always get it out of the fridge and wait until it reaches room temperature before diving in. As it warms up, the cheese becomes more flavorful.

Cut It in Wedges

Wedges are the best shape to cut brie. Not only does it look pretty, but many brie enthusiasts claim that the tip of the brie wedge is the most flavorful part.

Don’t Remove the Rind

Rind of the brie cheese is not only edible but recommended to be eaten. It contributes a subtle nutty hint and provides a contrast to the gooey inside.

Pair it With Fruit

Brie and fruit are a perfect match. The sweetness of the fruit goes amazingly with the creamy nature of brie and results in a completely different experience. Peaches, plums, and figs are the most popular fruits to combine with brie.

]]> There’s nothing like a good cheese platter at the end of a hard day. If you’ve ever gone to a cocktail party and seen a couple gooey-looking cheeses on a board and not known what they were, you most likely you saw a brie and a Camembert. While they look a lot alike and have some of the same properties, they really are two distinct cheeses, which should both be enjoyed in different applications.

Brie

Brie is said to have been created first of the two cheeses, and the main difference in the composition of the cow’s milk cheese is that extra cream is added to it during the process, sometimes so much the brie is categorized as triple cream. The taste of brie is super buttery and rich, but very mild and takes on different flavors very well. Brie is also sold by the wedge, because a wheel of brie is quite large.

Camembert

Camembert has a much stronger taste of the two cheeses, so it’s not necessarily as versatile, but still very delicious and super creamy and soft. Camembert is from the Normandy region of France, and a wheel is much smaller than brie, which is why you will find it sold as a whole wheel in the grocery store.

]]> Brie is one of the greatest gifts France has given to the world. It’s creamy, smooth, and with a flavor profile that works with so many dishes. There’s no surprise that baked brie is one of the biggest pleasures in life, which combines brie and an array of flavors that all melt together in the oven. If you are looking for a fun starter for a party or a simple way to make any night special, baked brie is the dish for you.

The classic combination of figs and cheese work amazingly well in this dish.

First, heat up some fig jam or preserves in the microwave just for 30 seconds to loosen it up.

In the meantime, chop up any nights you like, such as walnuts, almonds, or pistachios.

Then, cut up the figs, either dried or fresh and combine them with nuts. Use half of the warmed jam to mix in with the figs and nuts.

Put the brie in an oven safe dish or a cast iron pan. Spread the other half of the jam on the brie and then cover it with the nuts and figs.

Bake at 375F degrees for 10 minutes and enjoy!
