Brie de Meaux Biography .... A massive 23 litres of milk are used to make each cheese. The milk is heated to 37 °C only during the renneting stage, but is never actually cooked. It is then manually cast into its mould with a pelle à Brie, or Brie shovel. The cheese is salted with a dry salt, which is balanced out by a slight sweetness, obtained from the high-quality of milk used. During maturation in a cool cellar, the cheese develops a white mould and the pate, or paste, turns a light straw colour. This process takes a minimum of 4 weeks, during which time the cheese is gently turned several times.
