Coulommiers (Cheese)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coulommiers cheese is Brie's little brother, although some people consider it the grandfather. It usually has a shape of disc with white penicillin mould made from cow's milk. It is smaller and thicker than Brie but otherwise possesses all the characteristics of a Brie. This cheese can be either fermier or industrially produced, though industrial version lacks the depth of an unpasteurized cheese. The period of ripening is about four weekend the content of fat is 40 per cent. [Cheese.com]
