This richer and nuttier flavored "little brother"" of Brie is produced just down the road from Brie in Coulommiers, in the Île-de-France region of northern France.
The flavor is slightly sweet, earthy and mushroomy and it has a wonderful creamy, chewy texture and an incredible, heady aroma. A perfectly ripe Coulommiers will bulge, not run.
Serve at room temperature with apples and pears and enjoy with a glass of Côtes du Rhône or white Burgundy.
Artisanal Cheese carries Coulommiers, as does Fromages.com. See full article.
