Brie coverings are a type of edible RINDS that are used to wrap around brie cheese. The most common type of rind is a white, bloomy rind which is made from Penicillium candidum, a type of mold. This type of rind helps to protect the cheese and also adds flavor. Other types of RINDS include ash-covered RINDS, which are made from vegetable ash, and waxed RINDS, which are made from wax. All of these RINDS help to keep the cheese fresh and add flavor.
