You don't need to be a cheese expert to distinguish a Brie de Meaux from a Brie de Melun. At first glance you can see that both are related, but only have their region of origin in common. Considered the ancestor of all Brie cheeses, Brie de Melun is much more colorful and smaller. When it comes to smell and taste, the differences are even more striking. The Brie de Melun comes up with very rich and complex aromas.
Brie de Melun has been marked with the European seal AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) 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".
