Brie cheese is made from cow's milk and is produced by adding rennet to the milk to coagulate it, then the curds are cut and drained before being placed in molds to form the cheese. The cheese is then aged for a few weeks to develop its characteristic flavor and creamy texture.

Jews who do not follow Jewish religious laws concerning kashrut will eat brie without caring. As for those who do observe the laws, there are many cheeses that are produced using rennet or other particulates derived from animals and are therefore not kosher. If such a cheese is produced in the same vats or areas as the brie, that will render the brie non-kosher. Most facilities that produce brie have this issue. However, brie itself can be made in a kosher way and there are some select grocers that will sell kosher brie (that was produced in unique brie-only vats).
