Ashed Camembert

McLaren Vale Cheesemakers Camembert is made from Friesian milk sourced from the Kowalds Dairy at Mt Torrens Adelaide Hills SA.

2007 Tasting Notes

The recipe for this surface ripened cheese has developed over the years and is producing a luscious and clean flavour typical of a Camembert style.

The Camembert has a pure white surface and a chalky centre when young. We ash the cheese once the white mould is fully developed. The ash adds a different dimension to the cheese, introducing a savoury flavour and a unique look. As it matures the centre becomes soft and custardy and it develops a full rich flavour with just a slight hint of mushroomy characters.
