Where to Buy Authentic French Cheese Wheels: What to Look For

An authentic French cheese wheel is one of the most impressive things you can put on a table. Whether it's a whole Brie de Meaux, a raw milk Camembert, or an aged Comté, French cheese wheels are edible works of art.

What to Look for in Authentic French Cheese

Look for AOC/AOP certification — this guarantees the cheese was made in its traditional region using traditional methods. Raw milk cheeses (au lait cru) have more complex flavor than pasteurized versions.

The Best French Cheese Varieties

Brie de Meaux — the king of brie, with a rich, mushroomy interior. Comté — aged in mountain caves, with nutty, caramel notes. Roquefort — the original blue cheese, made from sheep's milk in southern France.
