Etymology

The word 'brie' comes from the French language, referring to both the cheese and the region from which it originates. Historically, Brie has been made in the region of Brie, northeast of Paris, for centuries, with evidence tracing back to the 8th century. It was originally prepared by local farmers who used the surplus milk from their cows. As it gained popularity, production methods evolved, but the essence of creamy brie remained the same. In the 19th century, brie gained prominence outside of France, especially in Europe and the United States, where it became a staple in fine dining and gourmet food circles. The unique taste of brie has led to various adaptations and imitations around the world, but the traditional French version remains celebrated.
