Camembert cheese 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, which becomes more pronounced as it ripens. 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, making it a popular choice for cheese boards. Camembert is also a key ingredient in various dishes, adding depth and flavor to recipes.
