Mentioned by Charlemagne in 774 AD, Brie de Meaux is one of the oldest French cheese still in production.
Named as the King of cheese at the 1815 Congress of Vienna.
This is the one of the two French Brie that are protected by law via the Appéllation d'Origine Controllé (A.O.C.) programme. This is the same programme that protects Roquefort blue cheese and Champagne.
Fromagerie Rouzaires is a family-owned and operated cheesemaking and ripening company since 1938. They collect the milk from 25 dairy farms in the Seines et Marnais region.
