Brie is a French cheese that has a creamy texture and is safe for those who are intolerant to lactose. This cheese is made with rennet, which is an enzyme that helps break down lactose. This means, lactose intolerant people can consume it. Brie is also a soft cheese, so it's easy to digest.

Some of the best cheeses for lactose intolerance are muenster, brie, camembert, and gouda. Cheddar cheese, parmesan, and provolone are also relatively low in lactose. However, Velveeta, feta, ricotta, and American cheese are among the worst for lactose intolerance.
