Camembert Le Châtelain

Camembert Cheese

It comes from Normandy, France, where Camembert was first created back in 1791. This is a great example of a rich, creamy cheese that when ripe is "as good as it gets".

Camembert CheeseWhen this cheese was presented to Napoleon in 1855 by the daughter of the Marie Harel, the creator of this variety, he liked it so much he asked where it came from. Since that day, it has been called Camembert.

Camembert Le Châtelain retains most of the authentic flavors and qualities of the raw-milk cheese you can buy only in France and is gently pasteurized to make it available in the United States.

Camembert Cheese come from the Normandy region of France and is made from 100% cows milk. It has a bloomy rind and is aged 2 - 3 months. The taste is succulent, ripe, rich and creamy with a possible hint of apple. The texture is creamy and can have a runny interior with age.

Camembert goes great with light reds from the Loire Valley or Champagne. Great all by itself. I like to serve it before the meal with some other cheeses or really wow my guests by serving it with some fruit for dessert.
