While brie is typically produced in larger wheels; however, camembert is ripened as a small round cheese and is fully covered by rind.
This ratio change between rind and paste makes camembert slightly stronger when compared to a brie ripened for the same amount of time. Once the rind is cut on camembert it typically has a more pungent aroma than brie. In terms of taste, camembert has a stronger, slightly sour, and sometimes chalky taste.
The texture of camembert is softer than brie, and if warmed camembert will become creamier, whereas brie warms without losing as much structure.Comes in its own little wooden box, Le Chatelain camembert cheese has a mushroomy texture and amazing taste. Facts 8.8 oz. Product of France.
