Camembert, one of the world's most famous gourmet cheeses, originated in the Pays d'Auge in Normandy, but its production is not restricted to France. Indeed it is now made in most countries where cheese is produced on a large scale and is eaten everywhere from San Francisco to Saigon.
Our current product is made from pasteurized milk and is a small 250 gram / 9 ounces. We also have a Camembert made from raw milk 'au lait cru' for those we prefer the original and traditional version.
Store Camembert in its box or wrapper. If it is not fully ripe it can be ripened at home in a cool cupboard. If you put it in the refrigerator it will stop maturing and, of course, will need to be returned to room temperature before serving. Once the cheese is cut,the ripening will stop, the cheese should be wrapped in foil and eaten as soon as possible.
