How do you prepare Brie? - Unrecognizable young bearded ethnic craftsman pointing with paintbrush at camera sitting at table in modern creative workshop

My son enjoys the Brie that comes with the cheese plate at Starbucks. That cheese has a mild aroma. So I picked up some Brie from the market and it has a strong smell. Is there a way to prepare Brie to reduce the odor? Or if I knew anything about cheese would I even try?



Best Answer

Ammonia odor means over-ripe cheese. For both Camembert and Brie.

Next time don't buy it ...

How do you prepare brie for serving?

When planning to serve Brie, take it out of the refrigerator about an hour before eating. This will allow the cheese to come to room temperature, and it will be irresistibly creamy. Set the wheel or wedge on a tray with a knife and your accompaniments of choice.

How do you properly eat brie cheese?

Before you eat brie, let it sit out at room temperature for 1 hour so it's nice and creamy. Then, cut off thin slices, rind and all, and eat them on crackers or bread. The rind is perfectly safe to eat, and it has a slightly bitter taste and crumbly texture.

Do you take the rind off brie before baking?

Do you take the rind off before baking? Keep the rind on, as it will help the cheese hold its shape so it doesn't all melt out. The rind is also edible, so you can enjoy it with the melted cheese, or simply remove the top layer after baking and dunk in crusty bread like a fondue.

    The riper the brie is, the stronger the flavour is.

    Therefore I would recommend choosing a hard brie and then allow it to ripen (unless you want it really not strong)...Also you should experiment with different types of brie as some are stronger than others.

    I tend to find that french brie is stronger than English...

    Enjoy your cheese experimenting!
