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:
“But the best read naturalist who lends an entire and devout attention to truth, will see that there remains much to learn of his relation to the world, and that it is not to be learned by any addition or subtraction or other comparison of known quantities, but is arrived at by untaught sallies of the spirit, by a continual self-recovery, and by entire humility.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
