Bloomy-rind cheese is the style many people picture when they hear the word “fancy,” even if the cheese itself is more approachable than that reputation suggests. A wheel of Brie, a small Camembert, or a dense triple-cream looks quiet on the board: pale rind, soft paste, maybe a little ooze at the edge. Then the knife goes in, the center gives way, and the cheese starts to explain itself through cream, mushrooms, butter, damp earth, and warm milk.
