Brie is a French cheese with a long shelf life. It's a popular appetizer, served with bread or fruit. This cheese can be purchased fresh; however aged brie cheese becomes stronger and richer in flavor, creating a more flavorful type of cheese. It can be expensive, making it important to store the cheese properly so none is wasted. The storage requirements are very simple, and when frozen, can last up to three months.
Step 1
Slice the cheese into chunks that weigh 1/2 lb. or less. This cheese is stored best when cut and wrapped in small portions.
