Brie is usually purchased either in a full wheel or as a wheel segment.[13] The white outside of the cheese is completely edible, and many eat brie whole.[14] If the outside is firm and the inside is slightly bouncy and resilient, it is ready to serve. Underripe Brie may be stiff to the touch. Meanwhile, overripe Brie may be creamier and almost runny.[15] The cheese is sometimes served slightly melted or baked, in a round, lidded ceramic dish, and topped with nuts or fruit, or both.
