Camembert de Normandie

Soft, bloomy from Normandy, FranceIn our shop

True Camembert de Normandie PDO is made in Normandy from raw cow’s milk and hand-ladled into moulds. At full ripeness it should be soft and yielding, with aromas and flavours that can run from cultured cream and mushroom to cabbage, earth and farmyard. I love it when it is just beginning to slump under its own weight. This is a cheese to buy with a date in mind and allow to ripen properly.
