Located in: Cheese, France
Born centuries ago in Normandy, one of France's most fertile regions, authentic Camembert is still exclusively produced there. The Norman dairy farms, covered with delicious grass for cows to graze upon, are peppered with apple trees that protect the rich soil. In fact, some people claim to be able to taste a hint of apple beneath the creamy suppleness of fresh Camembert. A similar cheese to brie, Camembert is formed into smaller wheels and may have a slightly more robust flavor than its larger cousin. Firm when chilled or runny at room temperature, there are many ways to enjoy this wonderful cheese-- with bread, fruit, or nuts. Best when eaten at room temperature.
  • Best enjoyed within seven days of delivery.
  • Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Comments about Camembert:

I was hoping for a ripe, creamy, full flavored Camembert like I had in Paris in March. This one reminded me of why I gave up eating Camambert in the US years ago.

Comments about Camembert:

We, as a family, love cheeses, but until we discovered Camembert from [...], we had no idea that it would be so delicious, flavorful and just downright good. Fantastic with plain salted crackers or a good wheat cracker. The taste is always the same: excellent.
