Cheese
by Jennifer on August 20, 2008
Take all of the best, most delectable characteristics of Brie, intensify them twofold, and you've got yourself a nice, ripe Coulommiers.
This richer and nuttier flavored "little brother"" of Brie is produced just down the road from Brie in Coulommiers, in the Île-de-France region of northern France.
The flavor is slightly sweet, earthy and mushroomy and it has a wonderful creamy, chewy texture and an incredible, Heady aroma. A perfectly ripe Coulommiers will bulge, not run.
Serve at room temperature with apples and pears and enjoy with a glass of Côtes du Rhône or white Burgundy.
Artisanal Cheese carries Coulommiers, as does Fromages.com.
