Nature

Camembert is a French cheese made from cows milk that has a white, bloomy rind and a soft, slightly runny interior that ripens closest to the rind first. The flavor of Camembert can be described as earthy, mushroomy, eggy, garlicky, nutty, milky, grassy, fruity, and/or pungent. It has a creamy butterfat taste with notes of mushroom and fruit. Camembert has a stronger and more earthy flavor than Brie and a more pungent aroma. It is an excellent addition to cheese boards and is best enjoyed served at room temperature accompanied by fruit, nuts, baguette slices, and crackers. It also bakes well, either wrapped in pastry or without, and when baked, Camembert will be slightly stronger in flavor than baked brie.
