Original analysis by NutriVerdict
Density 24 · -11 vs Dairy & eggs medianBrie scores 24 of 100, a Low band that ranks 43rd of 60 in Dairy & eggs, below the category median of 35. Protein reaches an excellent 42% DV, with smaller contributions of 19% DV vitamin A and 14% DV calcium rounding out the profile.
This soft ripened cheese is served at room temperature with crackers or fruit, or baked until the interior turns soft, a classic cheese board centerpiece. A one ounce (28 g) wedge is the standard serving, but sodium reaches 629 mg per 100 g, saturated fat 17.4 g per 100 g, and cholesterol 100 mg per 100 g, worth noting for a cheese eaten in more than a token amount; blue cheese scores slightly higher in the same category.
