Camembert (Normandy)

sspirall recommended this 1 year, 8 months ago

I certainly agree with others that it's one of the greatest cheeses you'll taste in France...or Quebec, or the world for that matter.

Cons: Not for you if you don't like stinky cheeses (I love it and I don't like seeing various colours of mold in my dairy); goes bad very quickly when not refrigerated well; almost impossible to slice due to thickness of rind vs. softness of cheese.

Slice of brown bread, butter, camembert and some home made jam: yum-yum.

Amazing stinky cheese that made me love stinky cheeses. Creamy and silky, and somehow the stinky smell only makes it taste better!
Cons: Only raw unpasteurized camembert is tasty in my opinion. So all the camembert in America tastes bland and boring.

One of the greatest french cheeses. Eat it with a baguette and a glass of wine. I recommend red wine-Bordeaux, Bergerac- but a white one will do it.
Cons: Expensive
