This beautiful brie is made by Anne Wigmore [by profession a microbiologist] and is the cheese we would choose if we were to be limited to one cheese for the rest of our lives. It is not pasturised, it is thermalised. So it is not "raw" milk - it has been heated but not to such a high temperature nor for long enough to fully pasturise the milk. It tastes a bit like double cream on steroids with an attitude.
