Camembert de Normandie Pré Saint-Jean, cow's milk, Normandy, France - 8.8oz./Each

Camembert de Normandie Pré Saint-Jean is a traditional raw cow’s milk, soft-ripened cheese produced in Gavray, Normandy by the Fromagerie du Val de Sienne. It carries the Camembert de Normandie AOP, meaning its origin and production methods are governed by strict appellation rules. 

Pré Saint-Jean is made from raw cow’s milk and belongs to the pâte molle à croûte fleurie family—soft cheeses with a naturally developed bloomy rind. The cheese is traditionally hand-ladled into molds, allowing the delicate curd to drain slowly rather than being heavily worked. This helps preserve moisture and contributes to Camembert's supple, creamy texture.

Each wheel is relatively small, weighing around 250 grams, and must mature for at least 21 days. During ripening, its characteristic white rind develops while the interior gradually transforms from a firm, chalky center into a soft, creamy paste.
