Coulommiers is Brie’s little brother; some even claim it’s the ancestor. Smaller but thicker than Brie, this cheese shares most of its characteristics. It’s a soft cow’s milk cheese with a bloomy rind produced in the Seine-et-Marne region throughout the year. Its name comes from the town in which it was originally sold at market.
