Brie de Montereau is an unpressed, uncooked cheese.

It is a raw cow’s milk version of Brie with a reddish crust.

To make it, the milk is partially skimmed then let curdle. The curd is then ladled into moulds over a period of 3 hours in batches of 2 to 3 goes.  The moulds are 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 inches) high. The curd is let drain 18 hours in the moulds, then the cheese is salted, and aged 4 to 6 weeks.

Brie de Montereau comes in two sizes: one is 20 cm (8 inches) wide, weighing 1 lb (2 ¼ pounds), the smaller is 18 cm (7 inches) wide, weighing 400 to 500 g (about 1 pound.) Both sizes are 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.

Brie de Montereau is made in Montereau, France, from July through to March.

It is not an AOC Brie.
