A Coulommiers cheese with a bloomy rind

Bloomy rind is a way of describing cheese. It means that the cheese rind becomes soft and fluffy and the rind becomes white in color. Cheese that uses Penicillium camemberti is prone to developing bloomy rind. Bloomy rind cheese can be described as having "mild and lactic" flavors that may resemble onion or mushroom.[1] They are described as being "ripened from the outside," and usually have creamy textures.[2]

Brie cheese is a type of cheese prone to bloomy rind.[3]
