Donge Brie Fromage – 100g

One of the cheeses we are not currently allowed to import from France is Brie de Meaux, because it is an unpasteurised cheese.  Fortunately for us the  Donge family who make and supply our usual Brie de Meaux, also make very small quantities of pasteurised cheese in their 3^rd generation family dairy in Meuse, they have been making this for some while to supply the market in countries which do not allow unpasteurised cheese.  This means their usual qualities of traditional make such as hand ladling and using small vats for delicate handling of the curd, also apply to this cheese.  It also means that the milk comes from the same 30 farms that supply them for Brie de Meaux and includes milk from the rare local breed Pied Noir de l’Est as well as the more common Prim Holstein & Montbeliarde.  The only difference is that the milk is pasteurised.  Made with traditional rennet.
