We camembert the thought of you missing out on this rare gem...too much? Yeah we thought so but couldn't help it! We are drooling over this Camembert aged by the legendary French affineur, Rodolphe Le Meunier. I honestly think I'm having it for breakfast as I type this post!
Like almost all great cheeses, this one reveals its true magic when brought fully to room temperature before serving. When I tasted this wheel, the very first note to hit my palate was pure, luscious sweet butter. Honestly, it is so good on its own that I didn't even want to put a drop of honey or a speck of jam near it—you just want to sit back, close your eyes, and savor the flavor completely unadorned.
Unlike a mild Brie, a true traditional Camembert is packed with rustic personality. As that sweet butter melts away, it gives way to deep, complex nuances of earthy mushrooms, damp autumn woods, and savory warm milk. What makes Rodolphe’s version so exceptional is his meticulous aging process in his Loire Valley caves. He takes this traditional craft and elevates it to an art form, nurturing the rinds until the wheel achieves a perfect, velvety balance where no single flavor overpowers the other.
This wheel is practically begging to be unwrapped around a backyard fire pit with a cool Whidbey breeze blowing through the trees. Pour yourself a glass of crisp, dry regional cider, slice off a wedge, and let it melt in your mouth.
We only have a handful of these special wheels in the shop right now, so come grab one in before they're gone!
