Is Brie Mold Edible?

Many people wonder if you can eat the Brie mold. But first of all, what is the outside of Brie cheese made of? The Brie rind is treated with special molds of the Penicillium genus and in particular of the Camembert genus which is specifically selected for the dairy industry and used for the cheese-making of Brie. The mold forms a white outer patina that is not harmful to health. So you can eat the Brie rind without any risks.
