Coulommiers

Coulommiers cheese, often referred to as the "mother of all Bries" is a delightful French cheese with a rich history. It is named after the 'Coulommiers' commune in the Seine-et-Marne department in the Île-de-France region, France. Coulommiers shares similarities with Brie but is smaller in size and known for its distinct characteristics. Made from unpasteurized cow's milk, this cheese features a creamy texture beneath its bloomy rind. The cheese takes a few weeks of ageing period, allowing it to develop a soft, gooey interior. Coulommiers is recognized for its buttery flavour, offering a balance of richness and mild tanginess. Its bloomy, edible rind contributes to a soft, edible exterior. This cheese is versatile and can be spread on crusty bread or paired with fruits and nuts.
