Camembert, 4 oz

by Marin French. Product of USA.

Camembert is a traditional, farmhouse style cheese with a creamy and soft texture. Made from cow's milk, Camembert has a bloomy rind that balances not only texture, it serves to provide a subtle contrast to the savory interior and helps give it its smooth consistency.

The history of Camembert is fascinating; it started life around the time of the French Revolution as a dry, yellow brown cheese made for her family by Marie Harel, a farmer's wife. In 1855, a daughter of Marie offered one of the cheese to Napolean and told him it came from Camembert. The name stuck and as innovations in transportation and cheese storage advanced in the mid-late 1800s, Camembert became well known throughout France.
