Coulommiers.
Coulommiers whispers where Brie declares—a smaller, more intimate cousin draped in delicate white mold that gives way to a butter-soft interior. The nose catches fresh mushroom and sweet hay; the palate finds creamy, almost custard-like texture with gentle earthy undertones that linger like morning dew on grass.

The story
How it's made.
Why it tastes that way.
Coulommiers is closely related to Brie but smaller in diameter (around 23cm vs. 37cm for Brie de Meaux).
It originates from the Brie region and the town of Coulommiers in Seine-et-Marne. Though it lacks PDO protection, it is widely considered a distinct cheese with a creamier texture due to its smaller size allowing different moisture retention.
