The second is French made Boucheron It's a tangy goat's cheese that has white bloomy rind but it made in the shape of a long log, about 5" diameter. It features a signature soft with ash running through its center. It is soft, young, complex and just fun to eat. The first is Humboldt Fog, made by Cyprus Grove Chevre, crottin-like cheese but about 30 times the size. I suggest two delicious cheeses to try out and get inspired. if you like Crottin and not a big fan of the rind: I have not even seen American Cheese until I was 20 or so.ĭebi. I really love their rind but than again, I grew up on the stuff. Here are links to three of these excellent shops that do a fair amount of business online. They are not difficult to make, I have 5 aging here right now (3 cow's, 2 goat's) At the market you have the great benefit of talking to the cheesemaker and his farm workers and asking them if the cheese is stabilized or if it will ripen, when was the cow milked? When was the cheese aged? (21 days is the ideal time to eat it)īetter yet. Otherwise I get very good local cow and goat Camembert from the farmer's market - which I suggest you do too. I get all of mine as original OAC Camembert of Normandie from reputable cheese shops like Murray's, Artisanal, Fairway or Zabar's in New York City, (Whole Foods is excellent as well), I manage to ripen those perhaps the AOC designation is contingent upon not stabilizing the cheese. I guess you did purchase a stabilized one. It will get mushy and too strong and perhaps the smells of Ammonia.

The spot-on point is right in between, when the outer third is still visibly dense, white and mild, and the remaining 2/3 core of the cheese is this nice creamy tang.and it feels just like ripe fruit when you slightly squeeze it to figure out the texture.īut as it also often happens with fruits, you can't seem to find a really nice one that is ripe and ready to eat so you end up buying unripe fruit and wait a few days.

In other words, the spot-on point for Camembert is not the part where the mass of cheese is dense and mild flavored, or the point where it's so ripe that the inside is just a goo with slip-on skin of rind. "Some people like their fruits hard and tangy, other like them overly-sweet, and mushy, but most like them ripe spot-on. "Just like a fruit" as they would explain. When my parents returned from a 6-year stint in France, they brought with them a peculiar French habit they would feel the Camembert in the market (or store) for ripeness.
