Camembert is a soft, creamy cheese that originates from the Normandy region of France. It is made from cow's milk and has a characteristic white, bloomy rind. The cheese is known for its rich, buttery flavor and smooth texture, making it a popular choice for cheese boards and gourmet dishes. Typically sold in round shapes, Camembert is often enjoyed at room temperature to enhance its creamy consistency. It pairs well with fruits, nuts, and crusty bread, and is frequently used in cooking, such as in baked cheese recipes.
