Cornish Brie is a soft cow's milk cheese from the United Kingdom. The name points to Cornwall, and the make follows French brie, with a white bloomy rind around a yellow buttery paste. At peak, the center turns soft and sometimes gently runny, while the flavor stays mild, creamy, and a little mushroomy. It is a British cheese in a French shape, not Brie de Meaux and not a blue. Cow's milk from that part of Britain gives the paste its deeper yellow color.
