Coeur de Neufchatel Brie Heart Cheese

A lovely heart shaped French brie from Neufchâtel in Northern Normandy. Legend has it that in the 100 Years War, the young maidens of Neufchâtel-en-Bray offered this cheese to their gallant English conquerors. To the delight of the priests, they ate the cheese and thought they were in heaven, as the shape reminded them of angel’s wings. The taste is present yet delicate, with light, nutty flavours and a mushroomy rind.
