153. Coulommiers

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.

One can’t avoid eating. There are 2 ways of taking meal: one can eat just to refuel the organism and to get pleasure from the process of eating. Paris is the kind of place where you obligatory ought to give a gastronomical treat to your body.
