Camembert cheese AOC

Origin: France

History: Cheese is the glory of the French nation. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said: This great nation, which has created more than 400 kinds of cheese, cannot be destroyed. It can be seen that cheese plays an important role in French national life. They come in many varieties, styles and sizes.

Although the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland and other countries produce high-quality cheese, France is a veritable cheese country. Every place in France has its own unique cheese variety. There are more than 500 varieties in France. France is also one of the countries with the largest cheese consumption per capita, and it can be called the first cheese kingdom in the world.

Technology: Camembert cheese belongs to a kind of white mold cheese in terms of production technology. In the process of making this cheese, a special mold-Beauveria bassiana was added. In the final maturity of cheese making, it is these molds that first grow on the surface of cheese. On the one hand, they prevent other harmful bacteria from polluting cheese. On the other hand, they change the acid-base environment of cheese by metabolizing nutrients in cheese, so that other fermenting bacteria can continue to grow in it, thus giving Camelot cheese a unique flavor.
