Camembert Le Fin Normand I Le Fromage Yard
Description
Though made throughout the world, authentic Camembert is from Normandy, an area of northwest France where cows graze on rich soil scattered with apple trees. Some people claim to be able to taste a hint of apple in Camembert, but overall the cheese is more earthy and nutty. Though often compared to Brie, Camembert is much more robust and complex.
