A French engineer by the name of Mr Ridel invented a circular wooden box for Camembert in 1890 which , with the new means of transportation, allowed him to make certain it would travel in ideal conditions.
Camembert de Normandie, a true star! For a truly delicious starter, unwrap a Camembert and slice it thinly. Place the slices on toasted bread, bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes, then generously drizzle with honey. Add toasted pinenuts and mizuna salad leaves. Serve warm .
Perfect drink matches: A white Alsace wine or a Muscadet


Camembert de Normandie (PDO)
A certain Marie Harel, who lived in the small village of Camembert in the French department of Orne during the French revolution, is credited with inventing Camembert de Normandie - the most famous of French cheeses. Made from partially skimmed raw milk and ladled by hand, Camembert de Normandie is a soft-ripened, flowery rind cheese. Its wonderful strong and earthy aroma develops during ripening.
