Delicious Brie Appetizers

And a Little Brie Cheese History...

Brie appetizers are not only mouthwatering, but they are so versatile. It’s amazing what you can do with a Brie cheese. How did “real” Brie cheese come about in the first place? Well, according to cheese experts, producing Brie cheese started in the French province called, not surprisingly, Brie – a town 60 miles from Paris!

The oldest recorded evidence of its existence was found in the chronicles of Charlemagne. The Emperor at the time, tasted the cheese in the city of Brie around the year 774 BC. And here's another interesting tidbit about Brie cheese... Louis XVI’s last and dying wish was supposedly to have a final taste of Brie.

It is sometimes called Brie de Meaux and is considered one of the most popular of the 400+ cheeses from France. Brie de Meaux’s popularity can be attributed to a competition that took place around 1814. During a Vienna Congress, an argument broke out regarding which country made the best and finest cheese.

As a result, a Frenchman by the name of Talleyrand, suggested a competition between the different countries and their national cheeses, as he was convinced that France would win. And of course, they did! Brie de Meaux was the winner and became known as the “King of Cheeses” and as you can imagine, instantly became an overnight success that swept Europe and has retained that distinction ever since.

As a matter of fact, Brie cheese from France won a gold medal from the Brie National Contest in both 2000 and 2001.
