History

Camembert is made from unpasteurized cow's milk, and is ripened by the moulds penicillium candidum and penicillium camemberti for around two weeks. It is produced in small rounds, about 250 grams in weight, which are wrapped in paper and boxed. The cheese is said to have inspired Salvador Dal to create his famous painting, The Persistence of Memory. Its "melting" watches were inspired by the sight of a melting wheel of over-ripe Camembert. It now has a protected designation of origin
