A Camembert question

[Cycleops]

Anyone mention cheese Grommet?

Camembert (and other rind-aged cheeses) can emit some ammonia as a consequence of the ageing process - worth airing for a decent while before eating or bunging in the oven.

What does French law have to say on the matter?

If you want real treat and an even softer cheese of that type, Vacheron Mont D'or is worth a whirl and in season now (only produced in winter months). you either spoon it out of the box to eat with crackers, or pierce the top "crust" add half a glass of white wine to the wooden box and roast the whole thing in the oven for 15 mins

In a similar vein, St Felicien... When that's ripe, it's a spoon job, but soooooo creamy

Or a pavé d’Affinois - very mild and creamy but just oozes onto the cracker when it’s been allowed to breathe.

Oh yes, especially the diet one.

If you like your blues then hunt down some papillon from a good cheese shop.

I have a fab French shop 2 miles away from home called 'No Name Shop' on account of it being on No Name Street in Sandwich. Its the only building on the street as its only about 12 yards long.

Blue Vinny cheese in sandwich, no it's better on biscuits, but maybe not with Fisherman's Friend.

Mmm! Cheese!

How about a nice Epoisses if you’re going to put it on crackers? At the milder end of the scale, rather partial to a good Somerset Brie

 

[Reynard]

Oh yes, especially the diet one.

With added double cream...

Chaource is good, too. Surprisingly tangy for a squishy cheese.

Picked up a Kidderton Ash goats cheese the other week on YS and let it ripen. Oh that was good too. I had to keep the open cheese upright (in a mug) to stop the middle from escaping the rind...

I feel your pain Dave

Another of the pungent cheeses...
