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.
