How Long Does Brie Last In The Fridge

When kept in its original packaging or transferred to a sealed bag, brie will last for up to seven days in the fridge after being opened.

How To Eat Brie

Brie cheese tastes best when it is brought to room temperature prior to serving, so remove it from the fridge approximately 30 minutes prior to serving.
Using a sharp knife, remove the rind from around the cheese wheel. The rind of brie is edible, so it’s ok if not all of it is removed.
Slice and serve: The easiest way to serve it is to cut it into slices and serve with crackers, bread or vegetable sticks such as carrots and celery.
Bake and serve: Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Serve as a hot, gooey appetizer alongside jam, nuts and dried fruit, baked solo or wrapped inside a thawed puff pastry sheet.

How To Freeze Brie

Wrap leftover brie cheese in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place in a heavy duty freezer bag.
Place leftover wheel of brie in the freezer for no more than 3 months for best results.

Note: Brie is a soft cheese with a high moisture content, making it a cheese not known for freezing well.
