Coulommiers, named after the town of the same name, is a soft-ripened cheese made from rich cow's milk. Beneath its bloomy, edible white rind, it has an extra-rich, creamy body.
It is said that Coulommiers (pronounced "KOO-lohm-yay")is the ancestor of all Brie cheeses. That would be an amazing heritage given the immense, worldwide popularity of this genre of cheese.
