Indulge in the creamy delight of Brie cheese, a soft-ripened French delicacy perfect for charcuterie boards or baked appetizers. Proper storage ensures its rich, buttery flavor and characteristic bloomy rind remain at their peak for your culinary enjoyment.
Storage Time
Best consumed within 1-2 weeks of opening when refrigerated; unopened Brie can last up to 4-6 weeks.
Temperature
Store Brie cheese in the refrigerator, ideally between 2–7°C (35–45°F), to maintain its optimal texture and flavor profile.
Signs of Spoilage
- An overly strong, ammonia-like smell, indicating it has become too ripe or is spoiling.
- A slimy or sticky texture on the rind or paste, suggesting bacterial growth.
- Visible mold growth that is not part of the natural bloomy rind, especially if it's green, black, or fuzzy.
