Cambozola, which is made by Kasseri Champignon in Bavaria, is a rich and creamy Camembert-type cheese with a bloomy white rind. Beneath its crust, one finds streaks of tangy blue. Hence its name: the marriage of Camembert and Gorgonzola gives us Cambozola. Very popular all over the world, Cambozola is the perfect addition to the after-dinner cheese course and pairs well with fruit and nuts.

Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

This was given to me as a Christmas gift, and it surpassed all my expectations. The only problem is that I cannot eat a whole pound by myself. However, it tastes heavenly on a cracker, on top of a rare ribeye steak, or tossed with linguine.

Just Okay

By pm cheese lover from Denver, CO on 3/4/2007

Pros:

Creamy

Cons:

Not pungent enough

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

It is an okay cheese and has a decent flavor when brought to room temperature. If this is the only thing your grocery store has I would say go for it, but if you are ordering [...], skip this and go stright for the "Stinky" cheese.
