When ripe, our double gold award-winning Camembert has a distinct earthy aroma and a smooth creamy paste that oozes camembert fabulousness. This scrumptious flavour is possible because of our traditional methods, meaning we don’t restrict the acidification to increase its shelf-life. Some love it just ripe: white, mild and creamy , others love it closer to its best before date, where the rind may become mottled, and its taste intensifies to a rich, deep, mushroomy flavour and smell.
Serving inspiration: Chicken, Cranberry and Camembert in Pies and on Pizza * Bake whole in the oven with white wine, rosemary, and garlic – serve hot and use bread to dip into the hot runny deliciousness * On crackers with a slice of apple and drizzle with honey for a starter *
At its strongest, pair it with something sweet.
Perfect match: Red wines like Pinot Noir or Syrah, or malty brown or amber ale beer, or a sour beer like a feijoa weiss.
