All my life, eating cheese is as eating the same old sliced cheddar cheese from Kraft.
But today...after 28 years, I had this sudden urge to try something new.
My first Camembert Cheese.
Brand is Prestige and made by GmbH &Co.KG a company from Bavaria, Germany.
I bought this from Foreign Market in Itaewon, South Korea for 4,700won.
The cheese was double wrapped in a blue plastic wrapper
and another one in an aluminium foil to keep it fresh longer.
Net Wt. 125g e.50% fat i.d.m
Soft ripened cheese made from pasteurized cow's milk.
Additional ingredients: lactic bacterial culture, salt, non-animal rennet, p.candidum.
Special pasteurized.
Refrigerate at max +8 Celsius.
Based on Wikipedia, Camembert Cheese originated from France.
"Camembert (French pronunciation: [ka.mɑ̃.bɛʁ]) is a soft, creamy, surface-ripened cow's milk cheese. It was first made in the late 18th century at Camembert, Normandy in northern France."
Jamie Oliver has a nice recipe on Beautiful baked Camembert.
I'm dying to try that, one day...if I'm fortunate enough to have an oven and even a kitchen to tryout his marvelous recipe.
ifood.tv has a pretty neat article on 'How to eat Camembert' and based from this idea, I had mine with fresh strawberry that I bought from a local market in Sinchon, South Korea.
