What is the rind on Brie made of?

... I can't stand it - it tastes like smelling salts to me, for some reason, all ammonia-ish. I like the middle, though.

What's the rind of Brie cheese made from? Well, it's sort of made, erm, from Brie cheese! It's part of the natural process of making the cheese. See here:
