Comparison To Camembert
Camembert is a similar soft cheese, also made from cow's milk. However, there are differences beyond the simple geographical fact that Brie originates from the Île-de-France and Camembert from Normandy. Brie is produced in large wheels and therefore ripens differently: when sold it typically has been cut from a wheel, and therefore its side is not covered by the rind. Camembert, meanwhile, is ripened as a small round cheese and sold as such, so it's fully covered by the afore-mentioned rind. This changes the ratio between the rind and the inner part of the cheese. Furthermore, Brie contains much more fat than Camembert does.

Famous quotes containing the word comparison:
“Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moment’s comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
