A must on a cheeseboard, Brie de Meaux was proclaimed “King of all cheeses” at the Congress of Vienna in 1815 at a dinner organized by Talleyrand. Its diameter and weight are impressive and it is seldom presented in its entirety - except at the cheesemonger's, who keeps it on a straw mat. A soft, cream-colored paste with a full flavor hides under its rind.
Brie de Meaux has been labeled with the European AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) seal since 1980.
The red European AOP seal (appellation d'origine protégée = "protected designation of origin") guarantees the consumer that all production stages take place exclusively in the defined geographical area of the designation, from the production of the milk to the maturing of the cheese.
In France, 45 types of cheese, 3 types of butter and 2 types of cream are labeled with the European seal "AOP".
