Lepetit Camembert, cow's milk, Saint-Cecile, France - 8.8oz/Each
Lepetit Camembert is a classic soft-ripened cow’s milk cheese from Normandy, produced in Sainte-Cécile, France. The Lepetit name has been associated with Camembert since 1872, when founder Auguste Lepetit began making the cheese in Normandy. Today, the cheese continues to emphasize the traditional creamy, earthy character associated with the region.
Lepetit is made from pasteurized French cow’s milk and comes in the traditional 250-gram (8.8 oz) wheel. It is a pâte molle à croûte fleurie - a soft cheese with a bloomy rind created through the development of Penicillium cultures. After production, the wheels are matured in dedicated ripening rooms (hâloirs). As the cheese ages, its thin ivory-white rind develops while the interior gradually becomes softer, more supple, and melting.
