What goes with Camembert?
Camembert is a small bloomy-rind cheese whose surface flora soften the paste inward. Its compact format makes it especially suited to whole-wheel baking, but the narrow window between supple and split demands attention. Apple, honey, herbs and earthy aromatics complement the rind's mushroom character. Chilling suppresses aroma; overheating drives out fat and intensifies bitterness.
