Our group had an amazing experience at the fromagerie that taught us an abundance of knowledge. Upon arrival, a lady greeted us and escorted us to a room where she would begin to tell us all about the factory and the cheese they make. She explained that they made three types of cheese: triple creme, Brie de Meaux, and Brie de Melun. The triple creme is mostly cream with some natural milk while the other two have very little cream. After she told us about the cheese, we watched a video explaining the history of Brie. Brie is known as the "king of cheeses" because once many countries leaders tasted all the cheese of the world and voted Brie the best. The tour guide brought us to see through windows what each stage of the process looked like in the building. This included milk production delivered from farms nearby, milk collection, curdling the milk, molding, aging, and preparing to be packaged and shipped. Seeing this for the first time made me appreciated the great quality of French cheeses. Afterwards, we tasted each kind. My favorite was the Brie de Meaux with the Earl Grey jam. Normally, I do not like cheese, but it tasted deliciously fresh. Compared to cheese from the United States, this cheese did not taste pasteurized or processed. The cheese in the United States has more additives while the cheese I tasted had a more distinct flavor and freshness. Lastly, we went to the shop, and we each bought something to bring home from the fromagerie.
