There are many different types of Brie, but the Brie de Meaux is the most famous.

Fabrication Process for Brie de Meaux:

The milk should be as fresh from the cow as possible. One needs 20 to 23 liters to make one cheese. The curd is obtained through adding rennet to raw milk which is heated to a maximum temperature of 37ÂșC. The cheese is then cast into molds. According to tradition, molding is carried out manually with the help of a "pelle a brie" (perforated ladle).
