In case I haven't stressed enough times how much I love cheese π§, I will say it again - I would give up on pretty much any type of food any day but not on cheese π§ π
Camembert is one of the most famous French cheeses worldwide π π π According to a legend, in the late 17th century during the time of the French Revolution a woman named Marie Harel had given refuge to a priest who had come from Brie (a town near Paris). The priest shared with her the mastery of great cheese making, hence the similarities between Brie cheese π§ and Camembert cheese π§ . Marie Harel remains in history as the woman who invented Camembert Cheese of Normandy π«π·.
Camembert cheese π§ is a delicate dairy product made from unpasteurised (raw) cow's milk π π₯ produced in the Normandy region in France π«π·. It is surrounded by a white rind which is meant to be eaten with the cheese. The cheese is sold in a round wood box π¦ which protects it (as it is very delicate) but at the same time lets it breathe.
