Hello, I am trying to find a source to buy or mail order real Brie de Meaux (not the imitation Formage de Meaux, I want the real raw milk stuff) in the US. I am aware that it is illegal to import and sell but I am also aware that some of it manages to find its way into the country anyways. I would love to find a reliable place to buy it, after having tried the cheese on a recent trip to F.W.I. I absolutely fell in love and have been craving it ever since.
If someone can steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

It's illegal? I didn't know that. Are you sure?
Cheese made in or imported to the US must be made with pasteurized milk. That's why cheese here is so bland and crummy.

Yep. The FDA makes it illegal to import raw milk (unpasturized) cheeses aged less then 60 days, they make special case for the french cheese though, for them no matter how long its been aged you cannot import it. The law dates back like 50+ years and the french addition to it is from the 80s when a bunch of people got sick and several died from eating raw milk cheese in france(cant remember the name of the virus they got).
I spent much of the winter in the Frech West Indies and sampled several varieties of raw milk french cheese and I have to say I was blow away. In the US we have been seriously missing out on the best cheeses on earth, the stuff we get here really pales in comparison, in fact there is no comparison. My mouth waters thinking about it, I must find the stuff.
