"You want to make sure everybody gets a bit of mold" - best sentence I've heard in a while! haha no honestly I miss French cheese so much... even the moldier kinds!
Mold is the best 😜next time you come to Paris, we will do some taste test!
Respect the cheese, mold, and the makers. Cute video. Thanks from a Texas.
Fully agree, it's super rude when people dig into foods (like brie) without regards for the effort it took to make it or even the other guests who would have to cut their discarded bits of cheese to get an actual piece, it's such a pet peeve of mine.
You have saved me from endless embarrassment! Thank you so much for this fantastic video.
You’re welcome! Enjoy your cheese embarrassment-free 😉
Indeed. She helped me too !
Traveling to France this June. So glad I found your videos…had no idea there were “cheese rules”. Feel like you’ve spared me being seen as a total heathen…..Merci!
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy!
i love your vibe!! you have such a warm and fun personality, and your videos are so well done. i'm excited to be a new subscriber! 💜
Thank you so much ☺️ welcome to the adventure!
Love this video. I am moving to France and had no idea how to cut and eat cheese. Thank you for all the advice!
Just found your channel. Great video. Cannot wait to try the cheeses in France! Liked and subbed!
I came here to find out how to eat brie, and learned much, much more. Thank you!
So informative! We love your videos ♥️
Thank you so much for your support! 🥰
Respect the triangle! Love it. I never knew that
Thank you for educating me ❤❤❤
Okay, I am glad I found this video. I had no idea there was etiquette involved. But it makes sense. The issue regarding the crust was the most important to me. I was never sure if the crust should be eaten or not. Especially for Mimolette or Parmeasan.
So glad you enjoyed it! Yeah mimolette is a definitely on the don't-eat-the-rind list but I've heard some people save their parmesan rind and put it in stock for added flavor so it might be worth a try!
@@thehungryparisian Yes! Cheese rinds make for good soup 😋
Lola! Love your videos!
Thank you so much! ☺️

Thank you for sharing 🥰
Fabulous video. My grandmother, Juliette, was obsessed with etiquette around cheese. Will you do more videos? Merci.
Yes I will! and your grandmother sounds like a top notch Lady!
I try to go to the bathroom, or I try to find a private area where I can cut the cheese alone. It's good etiquette. I think i will watch the video now.
'Respect the triangle' is so logical when someone says it.
It also makes for so much deliciousness ;)
Very informative thanks!
Thank You for this very informative etiquette lesson. You are a natural teacher. I appreciate your efforts to help us learn French Etiquette.
Glad it was helpful! Merci
i love your videos , thanks to you i found out there more than 1500 types of chesse in france ❤❤❤
What a great video!
Merci! :D
Tres interessant. Merci.
Great informative video! is it okay to touch with your hands while trying to cut?
Beautiful cheese board. I'm from the U.S. but my parents came from Europe. As you where describing the cheeses I didn't even realize that I was shaking my head 'yes, yes'. (LOL). Those cheeses look so incredible. Haven't met a cheese I didn't like yet. Does France make the most verities of any country?
Ah ah love this 😂 the cheeses are from the market of Versailles (my favorite place to buy cheese) and yeah I think we have quite a lot of principles especially about food in France but I like it, it our little quirky thing 😉
Just finding your channel. Such GREAT content I immediately subscribed. 💖
( Not sure if you are aware but in the 4th/Casual Register of American & Canadian English, “to cut the cheese” is an idiomatic euphemism meaning « péter » . )
Merci and that is a very fun fact!
I’m from the US and I didn’t even know that haha!
GREAT 😍
Thank you 😍
in england ... if one is having a cheeseboard at a dinner party ... you just leave the cheeseboard on the table ... with crackers and a few grapes etc for presentation lol ... and there is a cheese knife ... and everyone helps themselves to the cheese and biscuits ... the hostess would not be giving out the cheese because english people like to choose which cheese and how much they take ... and the more they take ... the more they are praising the hostess for her generous nature! 😃 ps: we have crackers and butter and then put the cheese on top ... spreading etc etc is all allowed ... and oftentimes we use branston pickle as well because it gives the cheese a piquancy!!!
That seems like a lovely experience!
Very informative - I love cheese! Yummy looking video :)
Makes me giggle a bit how there’s a talk of etiquette and being proper with cheese in France, while at the same time French people don’t seem to be grossed out (or offended) by men urinating in the streets, and people smoking at the table in a restaurant 🤢
But back to cheese (since I am new in France): how can I tell which cheese would be stronger than other? Obviously blue cheese and brie are easy to recognize, but what about the “middle” range cheeses?
Ah ah yes the "urinoirs" are a nightmare, though they are becoming less and less common!
As for the "strongness" of a cheese, I would say to look out for the washed rind cheeses (they usually have an orange rind) as they can be quite strong... But to be honest it is a bit of trial by error as the taste of a cheese can greatly vary depending on the aging. If you are afraid of finding something too strong, the best is to ask the cheesemonger :)
Hello, I loved your video! Very informative. Just curious, Do the French people ever melt Brie?
Merci! Yes, we do! It's delicious but we would use cheap brie, like the one from the supermarket for example
We love mimolette and find that because it is so hard that if you shave off bits of it you can really taste the crystals in the cheese. Is there a proper way to eat this type of cheese instead? Thank you!
Room temps in Thailand 38-42 (feels like 43-47) T-T Give me the room temp of 19c any day :D Love your vids. Thanks for all the tips.
Thank you, very informative.
I enjoy brie, without the grind of course! yeehaa! ;)
je valide cette vidéo
I was hoping this was going to be _in_ french!

Haha kitty.
Herb is hungry.
Thanks for your cheese etiquette rules. But to be honest all my french friends living in Paris cut the crust from the camenbert cheese and they never put the cheese on a piece of bread to eat, always eat it separately.
This is simply common sense.
Your English is amazing Lola…. Are you French?
Merci! Yes I am but I did study English language and literature at Uni
Do you use the same knife for all cheeses?
My friend is very traditional French and one time he told me “never point at the cheese”, but I can’t seem to find this rule anywhere online. Have you heard this before? Maybe he meant never point at it with a knife? Idk
I would say it is usually pretty rude to point at things with a knife because it could be seen as dangerous and bellicose... Other than that, I can't say I have ever heard about this rule, but again, each family have their own sets of rules ;)
Thank you for the respect the triangle
I want to be invited back🤗
Ah ah the triangle is very important :D
Speaking of the triangle, I have a question. Since the Saint Nectaire and Brie are shaped the same, could you cut the Saint Nectaire in triangles like the Brie and vice versa ?
Just to put it in a point, how to cut your cheese - Make sure, that everybody get as equal part as possible share of everything and every cheese - from middle to rind - No picking just the best part...
On pouvez manger sans pain le fromage quelquefois? Donc, un petit morceau a la main retrouvait de votre assiette?😳
The slab of Brie 🤤
It was Brie-liant ;)

It's like the blunt rotation but for French people.
What about the crust on Tomme?
Should you eat cheese before or after dinner.
After your main course, I gather
You can finish a meal with cheese... (serve at the end of the meal)... or you can serve it with or before dessert!
She said cut the cheese hee hee
I am German and have yelled as well, when an American was ruining my Camembert :D I VERY much like your advice of ordering/buying something else, instead of altering it. Doing that is just disrespectful! "Respecting the triangle" is an awesome keeper. Thank you!
When do you eat cheese during a meal? Is it before or after dessert?
In France we eat the cheese at the end of the main meal just before dessert ☺️ it helps with digestion
we have the expresssion: "fromage ou dessert ?"
I like the smelly cheeses but Camembert rind repulses me 😂
I only eat the middle of Baguettes
in my experience, only Americans do dig in the center without a crust of brie cheese.
So basically think geometry for fair distribution of pieces for everybody. Sounds like common sense to me 🤷♂️
The numerous commentary that Americans are disrespectful or without knowledge of consuming cheese is beyond stereo typical and verging on pompous and perhaps typical European sanctimony. America is a very big country with many cheese making regions. The continous comments that Americans have no knowledge how to eat, act socially, or consume cuisine from many ethnicities is just ignorant.
sorry i don't eat the brie crust. remove it before serving it or i will dig into it
how come Basque cheese makes your poop stink SO bad?
Bonjour need your channel I would be yelled at.
Cheese gives me pimples.
I found this video to be cheesy
Brie and Camembert taste terrible bought from US supermarket.
Oh that's unfortunate... For Camembert, check if they have the mention "Camembert de Normandie", they are usually better quality :)
Far too many cheeses on this board. You need to be able to GET to the cheese.
I typically hold a wedge of Brie or Camembert in my hand, then consume it in two or three bites.
