I believe the answer is:

brie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cheese' is the definition.
(I know that Brie is a cheese)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brie that I've seen before include "Kind of soft cheese" , "dairy product" , "Soft, creamy French cheese" , "cheesy stuff" , "French produce" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
