Camembert

Illustration

Preparation, uses, and tips

Camembert goes well with a variety of foods, especially fresh fruits like sweet berries or grapes, warm crusty bread, cappuccino, red wines, and apple cider. It makes and enjoyable treat when baked in a pastry crust.

Buying and storing tips

The softer the cheese, the more perishable it is. Ripe Camembert, carefully refrigerated, keeps for just a few days. Due to concerns about Listeria bacteria, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends that unpasteurized, soft, aged cheeses should not be eaten by children, older people, or those with compromised immune systems.

Varieties

Although “Camembert” is not a trademark, the Camembert de Normandie version is, like a wine variety, a name-protected by the French government; the individual cheeses are marked with an AOC (Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée) insignia. Camembert-type cheeses made in the United States have a slightly different flavor as they must by law use pasteurized milk.
