What is Camembert Cheese?
Camembert cheese is one of the most famous of French soft cheeses, heavily associated with French culture much like Champagne and Pate. The thick, gooey cheese is popular on bread and paired with fruit, and is often packed as a picnic food since it tastes excellent when served warm. Many specialty cheese stores carry Camembert cheese, which is protected with an Appellation of Controlled Origin to ensure that the cheese does not lose its cultural and historic value.
