About this item
Camembert dates back to the 18th century and is named for a Norman village in which there is a statue of the creator Marie Harel. In 1855 one of Harel’s daughters presented Napoleon with a piece of that cheese, saying that it came from village called Camembert. He loved it and from that moment on, Camembert became known by its current name. At the beginning of its ripening, Camembert is crumbly and soft and gets creamier over time (usually 2-3 weeks).
