Official Description

Nicknamed the “king of cheeses” because of its size, Vaubernier Brie is a French cheese made for sharing with family or friends.

Made exclusively from pasteurised cow’s milk collected close to the dairy, together with lactic and ripening cultures and a little salt, this Brie is characterised by its fine white rind, creamy texture and mild milky flavour.

Traditional Soft-Ripened Cheese

Soft-ripened cheeses are the speciality of Fromagerie Vaubernier. Following moulding and draining, the cheeses are allowed to ripen naturally through a simple but carefully controlled production process, developing a creamy texture as they mature.

The cheeses are sprayed with Penicillium, encouraging the development of the fine white bloomy rind. This rind protects the cheese while contributing to the development of its flavour.

Soft-ripened cheeses mature progressively from the outside toward the centre, allowing their texture and character to evolve throughout ripening.

About Fromagerie Vaubernier

Fromagerie Vaubernier is an independent French family cheese dairy established in the heart of the Mayenne countryside in Martigné-sur-Mayenne since 1912.

For more than a century, the dairy has preserved its traditional lactic recipe using milk, cultures and just the right amount of salt. During ripening, the cheeses are carefully turned by hand, allowing their initially firm texture to become creamier and their fresh, milky taste to develop greater character.
