Original Hudson Valley Camembert

THE CHEESE

Named after the original owner, Nancy's Camembert is a soft ripened cheese, made from a blend of sheep's milk, cow's milk, and cow's cream. When young, the texture is semi-soft in the center of the cheese, becoming smoother and softer just under the rind with a very buttery and well salted flavor. As the cheese matures, the texture becomes gooey under the rind, while the center retains its complexity. Pure decadence.

An aroma of fluffy white mold greets the nose while vegetal, mushroomy aromas are detected. The texture is smooth and satiny, effortlessly saturating the palate upon entry. Flavor profile is prolific with buttery notes throughout, moving from cultured butter to salted, buttery noodles.

Pairs very well with Champagne, since the effervescence cuts through the richness of the cheese.
