| Camembert Cheese |
 Camembert is one of France's most beloved cheeses and after tasting this version from renowned affineur Rodolphe Le Meunier, you'll understand why. Aged to perfection under his watchful eye, the pasteurized version measures up to the classic cheeses found in Normandy. Camembert's fluffy white rind develops after Penicilim Camemberti is introduced - and is where the name originates. Underneath is a luscious, pungent ivory paste. When young, this special French cheese is milky and sweet. But as it ages Camembert really begins to shine. At its peak, it is meltingly soft and creamy with an intense flavor of butter, mushrooms, and roasted meats. A ripe Camembert truly is a French classic. Rodolphe Le Meunier is also known for being one of the few French cheese affineurs adorned with the recognition of MOF, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, a prestigious award given only after passing a number of rigorous tests.
