Brie has a mild, slightly nutty flavour that becomes more pronounced with age. The outer layer is firmer, but the inner part is gooey and luscious. It has a white, edible rind made of mould that contributes to its flavour and texture.
Brie can be used in both savoury and sweet dishes. It’s often served as an appetizer, sliced and served with bread, crackers, or fruit. Brie goes well with white wines like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Champagne.
