President Creme de Brie Cheese, 125g

Product Information

Sodium: Brie cheese, like many cheeses, contains sodium. Excessive sodium intake can contribute to high blood pressure, so it’s important to consume brie and other cheese varieties in moderation, especially if you have existing health conditions. If you are interested in pairing it with a wine, I suggest an off-dry white wine. An off-dry Riesling has a bit of sweetness to complement the creamy richness of the cheese but also some acidity to balance the sweet honeycomb. Another great choice would be to pair a slightly off-dry sparkling wine. A recipe like this is worth the splurge! Sprinkle with dried herbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of fresh pepper (and any other seasonings or spices you like) all over the rinds.

The holiday season can be a busy time, so I am always looking for ways to make entertaining both delicious and easy. Président Spreadable Brie is a great specialty cheese choice, as it can go directly on any cheese board as a spread or a dip or use it in any number of creative ways for holiday baking.Pairing Brie with something acidic will bring out its velvety texture – try fruits like apples, grapes, or pears, or sweet and zippy sides like fig jam or honey. If the occasion calls for something more substantial, try earthy nuts like unsalted pecans or candied walnuts, or laying out a charcuterie alongside cheese options.

How to Shape These Easy Brie and Jam Puff Pastries

To eat Brie, first remove it from your refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This allows the brie to become softer and more flavorful as it warms. Most cooks are going to find taking off the rind of brie completely is difficult to do and not really necessary. To make removal easier, use a serrated knife, cheese knife or cheese slicer to get off as much as you can without wasting the good brie. When using Brie on pizza, it is important to slice it thinly and evenly to ensure even distribution and melting. Adding the Brie towards the end of the cooking process is recommended to avoid overcooking and allow it to melt evenly. Brie pairs well with savoury toppings such as roasted vegetables, cooked meats, and herbs. It can also be combined with sweeter ingredients, such as honey or fresh fruit, for a unique flavour combination. Centuries ago, Brie was given as tribute to French Kings. It’s easy to taste why, especially when you know how to eat Brie.
