Brie was invented in France, obviously. But did you know it was once called the “Queen of Cheeses”? It was served at royal feasts. Kings and queens fought over the last bite.
During the French Revolution, brie was practically a political statement. Eating it meant you were sophisticated. Refusing it meant you were a traitor. Cheese drama is the best drama.
Today, over 1,000 people taste brie professionally. They’re called “affineurs.” They smell cheese for a living. That’s a job. I am not joking.
