About camembert… No one can resist touching the fine white down on the surface of a camembert, so strangely similar to a mushroom cap. Personally I like the mild mushroom flavor and nutty aroma characteristic of ripe camembert. About my recipe… Why not use camembert in a tart? It's another way to enjoy this cheese, whose roundness evokes a little cake.
