Description: Comox Camembert is a soft bloomy rind cheese that takes its name after Comox, a small town near Courtenay, Vancouver Island. This is also the hometown of Natural Pastures Cheese Company, the maker of the cheese.Comox Camembert exemplifies how authentic Camembert should be. It has a tender and off-white bloomy rind with the presence of slight reddish-brown pigmentation indicating the ripeness of the cheese. The texture is creamy, rich, supple from edge to the centre without being runny or uneven. And the flavors are a delicate note of mushroom with an acceptable whiff of ammonia and milky accents. This is an award-winning cheese having been a finalist at the 2011 Canadian Cheese Grand Prix.
