Best Answer

Brie cheese is soft, pale in color with a slight grayish tinge under a rind of white mold and made of cow's milk. It is named after Brie, the French region from which it originated.

Camembert is a soft, creamy coloured, surface-ripened cow's milk cheese. It was first made in the late 18th century at Camembert, Normandy in northern France.

Both cheeses are similar but Brie is mild while Camembert can develop a strong taste. Brie is often sold in larger rounds than Camembert.
