Brie au poivre (Brie with pepper)

Brie au Poivre is a variation of the classic French Brie cheese that features the addition of black peppercorns. The term "au Poivre" means "with pepper" in French; the Brie is coated or infused with cracked black peppercorns. This gourmet cheese combines the rich and creamy characteristics of traditional Brie with slightly spicy notes from the pepper. Brie au Poivre is often presented with a bloomy rind, a creamy interior, and a generous coating of cracked black pepper on the outside.
