Brie from Brie and the French Affineur

Description

Brie is more than the mild, creamy, flat cheese, covered in pure white mold that you find in your grocery store these days. Authentic brie is produced in the Ile de France region and comes in different styles. Host Will Studd travels to the region to get a first hand look at the benchmark cheeses Brie de Meaux and Brie de Melun, before visiting Brie's close cousin, Chaource, in the Champagne region. Then it's on to the underground caves of Hervé Mons to find out how this respected affineur selects and matures cheese to its most flavorful. Finally, he gets a few tips from the largest specialist cheese retailer in France, Pascal Beillevaire.
