My son enjoys the Brie that comes with the cheese plate at Starbucks. That cheese has a mild aroma. So I picked up some Brie from the market and it has a strong smell. Is there a way to prepare Brie to reduce the odor? Or if I knew anything about cheese would I even try?

The riper the brie is, the stronger the flavour is.
Therefore I would recommend choosing a hard brie and then allow it to ripen (unless you want it really not strong)...Also you should experiment with different types of brie as some are stronger than others.
I tend to find that french brie is stronger than English...
Enjoy your cheese experimenting!
