It could be called "Brie de Coulommiers" and people would have an easier time identifying this cheese. Going by only it surname, Coulommiers, after the town in Brie, where it is produced, has all the characteristics of other Brie cheeses: white disk of bloomy rind; buttery, pale yellow center; softening to a gentle ooze as it ages. I was served Coulommiers in a bistro in Denver recently and it was one of the best things I ate that evening, thought that owes more to the quality of the other courses than any inherent qualities of the Coulommiers.
