Umm that's 3 questions...
Whats that white stuff on the outside of brie
It's a penicillium mould called a bloom, which has either been added to the milk or sprayed onto the moulded cheese. It is used to keep the cheese fresh
and are you supposed to cut it off?
No. The bloom is quite safe to eat and adds to the flavour of the cheese. Gives it a nice bitterness and makes the wine you are sipping absorb to your taste buds better

Buy it, open it, drink it and let us all know!
