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 words comparison to and/or comparison:
“It is very important not to become hard. The artist must always have one skin too few in comparison to other people, so you feel the slightest wind.”
—Shusha Guppy (b. 1938)
“We teach boys to be such men as we are. We do not teach them to aspire to be all they can. We do not give them a training as if we believed in their noble nature. We scarce educate their bodies. We do not train the eye and the hand. We exercise their understandings to the apprehension and comparison of some facts, to a skill in numbers, in words; we aim to make accountants, attorneys, engineers; but not to make able, earnest, great- hearted men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
