Brie de Meaux Dongé

Please note: due to current import restrictions, this pasteurised alternative is temporarily replacing the classic raw milk Brie de Meaux.

Brie de Meaux Dongé is a full and fruity pasteurised milk cheese, traditionally made to artisan methods. A soft, unctuous texture with easy yet complex, nutty flavours makes it one of our customers' favourites. The cheeses have a very pale yellow centre when ripe, which turns gooey and more flavoursome with maturity.

Between 21 and 25 litres of milk go into a single wheel, which finishes at around 3kg. The cheeses are dry salted and matured on reed mats in cool but not cold conditions, with great care taken to bring the fragile wheels up to peak condition.

The classic Brie de Meaux on which this cheese is based was granted AOC status in 1980 and can only be made in a tightly defined area of the Ile-de-France near Paris, a region that has held on to its rural traditions and hand-crafted production.

A whole Brie de Meaux Dongé weighs approximately 3.2kg. If you would like a full wheel, please contact us and we can arrange it for you.

All cheeses are hand cut, therefore the weights listed are approximate. We work very hard to cut them as accurately as we can and happy to offer advice on purchasing the right amount if you are unsure. If you would like a price for larger weights or whole cheeses, please call us.

We send our cheese by Royal Mail Tracked 24, with next-day delivery available across all UK postcodes for £4.99 per parcel. Orders over £60 qualify for free delivery.

We carefully pack every order to help keep your cheese in the best possible condition during transit. Royal Mail are very reliable, and most parcels arrive within 24 hours, but occasional delays can happen.

If you’re ordering cheese for a special occasion, party or event, we recommend having it delivered a couple of days beforehand. This gives you some extra time in case of an unexpected courier delay and allows the cheese to rest and reach its best before serving.

We currently deliver throughout the UK but do not offer international delivery.

Every order is cut and packed by hand, fresh to order by our team of cheesemongers.

Your cheese is wrapped in breathable waxed paper, which allows it to breathe while helping to protect it during transit and in your fridge. It is then placed inside a thermal foil pouch with a frozen gel pack to keep it cool on its journey. The gel pack will naturally defrost during transit; this is completely normal.

Finally, everything is carefully packed into a branded box to keep your order safe and presentable when it arrives.

We’re also conscious of the environmental impact of packaging. Around 95% of our packaging is recyclable or reusable, and we’re continually looking for ways to reduce waste and make our business more sustainable. We believe great cheese should be enjoyed with consideration for the planet, too.

Suggestion – FOURSEED SOURDOUGH CRACKERS

Pairs well with honey and with a good chutney. Serve at room temperature on a plain cracker so nothing gets in the way.
