Dumb question about cheese

[Iilo]

The rind is mold, if I'm not mistaken. It's edible, but doesn't have near as much flavor as the good stuff in the middle.

I've always loved the rind on those sort of cheeses! Very tasty.

Bri - Brie Cheese . I've always wanted to try some -nods-

Cookiebaker, you're thinking of Gouda - that is the cheese that comes with the red wax coating, that while it won't hurt you, isn't meant to be eaten.

Bri,

You should definitely try some Brie -- it isn't too expensive (but not near as delicious as Camembert) and goes great with a baguette (freshly baked hopefully).

Brie is a soft cow's milk cheese named after Brie, the French province in which it originated. It is pale in colour with a slight greyish tinge under crusty white mould; very soft and savoury with a hint of ammonia. The white mouldy rind is tasteless and edible


Camembert:
Rind: Thin, edible, slightly pungent.
Tasting Notes: This cheese is a luscious, buttery delight. It has undertones of mushrooms and nuts.

I have never tried either.

Okayyy. I'll see if I can find some around here. I've never seen any to be honest, but I've never looked either.

Brie is a very nice cheese, we usually have it on a cheese platter at Christmas. It goes very nicely on hot baguettes and on cream crackers too.

Having said that though, in my very humble opinion, nothing, absolutely NOTHING, compares to some good old vintage Lancashire cheese, yum yum
