Well I got this cheese and was curious if it’s a known brand or just some tiny producer with a small local importer. Doesn’t matter really, the proof is in the cheese as they say
Well, reading the reviews here I got worried. Did I just throw 13$ to the trash for a subpar rubber, or did I choose well (no choice really, only option at local deli)… The reviews are conflicting, first few are perfect w/o much details, last reviews are horrible. So what’s the truth? is it somewhere in the middle?
Well, it’s a decent Brie. Not too ripe, a bit firm but not rubbery, there is clear 3 separate textures, as should be (mold, rind, cheese). The taste, well, a little bit anemic, but it’s really about your taste. IDK what is the perfect brie, I know bad ones, and this is not a bad one. Maybe it needs a bit more time to mature, but as brie goes, this is a great product, at a great price, with the correct taste. Also there is a strong, deep herby aftertaste, something between stinky and sweet, which is great IMO.
So, YMMV, but my experience here was good enough for me to buy it again in the future. If the reviews here weren’t that contrasting, I might’ve scored this 3.5/5. So to balance it I gave it 5, but it’s not a brand that you should seek espacially. It’s just OK, but isn’t that what Brie is about?
I have purchased this to try a few times, and unfortunately everytime I have gone to eat it (same day as purchasing) it has been off. I’m not sure if it’s the packaging causing the issue. It somehow gets wet in the packaging. I bought some last week and took it back to the shops and swapped it for another. Checked it at the front deal and the replacement was off too. I wonder how many other people have had this issue? I do not recommend!
This was the most disgusting brie I’ve ever tasted. No taste at all, the texture was like rubber, I think it would bounce if I threw it on the floor. Never buying this cheese again
I suppose that if you haven’t experienced real Brie an not this frozen version from a factory in the Creuse department in the center of France (not one of the Brie regions), it could pass.
