Historical region of France that lent its name to a food (4)

I believe the answer is:

brie

(Other definitions for brie that I've seen before include "dairy product" , "French cream cheese" , "cheese-producing region" , "French 8 across" , "Round soft Fr. cheese" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
