Donge Brie *Third of a Pound*

Donge Brie, Third of a Pound

Delight in the unique flavors of Donge Brie. A Brie de Meaux style cheese from the Île de France, made by the Dongé family, with a soft interior that eases away from the crust.

Why you'll love it

• Brie de Meaux style — made in the manner of the most famous brie of all, from the countryside outside Paris.
• The Dongé family — produced by the family whose name has been tied to this style of brie for generations.
• Nine gold medals — the house notes nine wins of the Médaille d'Or, an unusual run of recognition for one cheese.
• Full flavored — fuller and more forward than a supermarket brie, with a camembert like fruitiness.
• Pasteurized cow's milk — a pasteurized French brie, sold in third of a pound pieces.

How to enjoy Let it sit out until the middle slumps, then serve with a baguette and a glass of Champagne. It is also the cheese to bake into a tart or spoon over potatoes.

The real thing, in the sense that matters: a brie with a rind that smells of cellar and a middle that runs.
