About
Brie is a soft, edible-rind cow's-milk cheese that weighs slightly more than an equal volume of water.
Brie cheese has a density of about 8.8 pounds per gallon (1.05 g/mL), which makes it just slightly denser than water. Its high moisture and butterfat content give it a rich texture that leaves few air gaps when packed into a container. Because of this solid texture, a cup of Brie weighs significantly more than a cup of shredded hard cheese. It takes up roughly the same amount of space for its weight as other soft dairy products like sour cream.
From Wikipedia
Brie is a soft cow's-milk cheese named after Brie, the French region from which it originated. It is pale in colour with a slight greyish tinge under a rind of white mould.
