The cheese has a white moldy rind on top and a creamy texture on the inside.

The distinctive feature of the cheese is its characteristic sweet-nutty mushroom flavor.

Here are some amazingly delicious combinations.

  • Baguette: Crusty bread is ideal for enjoying the soft flavour of Camembert.
  • Nuts: Walnuts, almonds or pistachios add a nice crunch and texture contrast.
  • Melon: The juicy, sweet flesh of melon pairs beautifully with the mild flavor of cheese.
  • Pears: Sweet and soft, pears are another great complement to Camembert.
  • Baked Camembert: The cheese can be baked with, for example, grapes or apples, for a richer flavour.
  • Traditional Wines: Camembert pairs well with traditional wines such as Chardonnay, Riesling or Pinot Noir.
