Product Description
Unlike our other French Camembert, this one comes from Normandy, where Camembert was first created in 1791 by Marie Harel. During the French Revolution, a recalcitrant priest from Brie (the village, not the cheese) arrived at the Manor of Beaumoncel in the village of Camembert and was hidden there by Marie Harel, a farmer. Following the direction of this priest, she created Camembert. The recipe was a success and her children and grandchildren continued the family tradition. Over time, word spread and Marie's cheese became famous all over the world.Camembert Le Châtelain is an excellent example, with a recipe that is true to the original. It is succulent, ripe, rich and creamy. Only gently pasteurized at moderate temperatures, Camembert Le Châtelain retains most of the authentic flavors and qualities of the raw-milk cheese you can buy only in France. Excellent served with light reds from the Loire Valley or champagne, in Normandy this cheese is paired with an apple liqueur called Calvados. Apples, Camembert and Normandy are inextricably linked. Norman dairy farms are peppered with apple trees that protect the rich soil. In fact, some people claim to be able to taste a hint of apple beneath the creamy suppleness of fresh Camembert. Novices beware: this authentic Camembert is aromatic! - Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

- Best enjoyed within seven days of delivery.

Yes, I Know Brie Cheese is Well Known and Delicious March 1, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I know that everyone is familiar with the distinctively mild Brie cheese.
All of us love it to the extreme with grapes and water crackers. Still because I'm in a very cheesy mood, I thought I'd praise it anyway.
I think that with a good wine selection and plate full of grapes, it's one the best appetizers. Festive meals like Christmas when it takes all day to make lasagna from scratch, it is perfect for the hunger pangs waiting for the really big meal.
Other than that it's a great and healthy snack food for everyday.
I know all you are quite familiar with this cheese,yet I'm still motivated to praise the mildness of flavor an the part I most enjoy the outer layer of the aged cheese which I absolutely relish.
Keep enjoying it as I do.
