Camembert au Calvados by Graindorge. Product of France
Camembert is a traditional, farmhouse style cheese with a creamy and soft texture. Made from cow's milk, Camembert has a bloomy rind that balances not only texture, it serves to provide a subtle contrast to the savory interior and helps give it its smooth consistency.
The world's most famous cheese originated in the Pays d'Auge in Normandy. This camembert is flavored with Calvados and has a characteristic moldy rind with slight light brown molding. The aroma is clean and the creamy paste has delightful apple tones. Delicious for snacking, melt into cream sauces for pasta and potatoes, um, well, of course!
And there's more ...
Calvados is a dry apple brandy made in Normandy. Apple orchards and brewers are mentioned as far back as the 8th century by Charlemagne. The guild for cider distillation was created 1606. The area called "Calvados" was created after the French Revolution, but "Eau de vie de cidre" was already called "Calvados" in common usage. In the 19th century output increased with industrial distillation and the working class fashion for "Café-calva". When a phylloxera outbreak devastated the vineyards of France and the rest of Europe, calvados experienced a golden age. The appellation contrôlée regulations officially gave calvados a protected name in 1942.
Calvados is often used to cook with particularly in chicken, veal and pork dishes.
