Camembert au Calvados
Camembert au Calvados is a delightful combination of two of Normandy's largest exports -
Camembert and Calvados. A traditional farmhouse made cheese, which has had its rind carefully removed and then the cheese dipped in Calvados and a Cider mixture. The cheese is then covered in a fine biscuit crumb, giving the taste a delicious fruity apple brandy sweetness.
The paste is plump and golden-yellow and the rind is creamy-white. Camembert au Calvados has a fragrant aroma and a full-flavour.
Camembert is excellent throughout the year but the very best cheeses are made from spring to autumn when the cows' enjoy the rich grass in the pastures.
