One of the varieties of soft, fatty cheese, for the preparation of which whole cow's milk is used, is called Camembert. The birthplace of cheese is the historical region in northwestern France - Normandy.

Camembert varies from white to light creamy in color, has a delicate, slightly mushroom flavor, and is covered on the outside with a special cheese mold (penicillium camemberti or penicillium candidum), forming a fluffy white crust.

In France, there is a legend that Camembert was first prepared in 1791 by the peasant woman Marie Harel, a native of the village of the same name. The Camembert recipe was revealed to her during the French Revolution by a monk hiding from persecution.

In 1928, a large monument was erected in honor of the cheese in the square of Vimoutiers in France. This event is due to the fact that one of the doctors had previously treated seriously ill patients with Norman cheese. Since the results of the therapy exceeded all expectations, grateful patients erected a small monument near the village of Camembert, and after 20 years the monument was erected in Vimoutiers.

Making camembert cheese

When making cheese, unpasteurized cow's milk is poured into tubs with lids, the best Camembert is obtained from two proportions - half of the curd is poured into molds in the evening, and the rest is added the next morning.

On prescription the best manufacturers Camembert cheese in 4.5 liters of milk is added with 0.5 ml of rennet at a temperature of 27°C. The curdling process begins after 2 hours, the milk is stirred from time to time so that the cream does not separate. Since the manufacturer does not always have the mold necessary for this type of cheese, it can be obtained from a piece of quality Camembert and added to the milk before the rennet coagulation process begins.

The resulting mixture is poured into vats and left overnight; in the morning the cheese becomes approximately 1/3 smaller than its original size. The next morning the whole process is repeated, but before pouring a new clot, the surface of the old one in the vats is carefully destroyed. After 24 hours of this step, the Camembert should be firm enough to turn over.

After the cheese has hardened and begins to pull away from the side walls of the mold, it can be salted and placed on shelves, where it is important to turn it from one side to the other every day. Only after waiting for the appearance of pronounced white mold is it transferred to drying rooms with moist air and temperature 13°C.

If the temperature and humidity are set correctly, the mold begins to grow rapidly and becomes blue in color; in general, Camembert takes on a bluish-gray tint. Then it is moved to a room with high humidity, in which the air temperature is 10°C. Under such conditions, mold growth begins to slow down, the cheese turns reddish-brown in color, its consistency becomes viscous and it is considered ripe.

When cutting into ripe Camembert, you should feel a firm texture; if there is a semi-liquid mass in the middle of the piece, the cheese is poorly cooked. Since the shelf life of cheese is limited, immediately after this stage it is transported in wooden boxes or packed in straw and tried to be sold as quickly as possible.

Camembert cheese equipment

What equipment will you need to make Camembert at home?

  • Pot

Its volume should be at least 4 liters and it is better not to take aluminum or enameled one.

  • Cheese molds

We'll take care of them in advance. These are plastic cylinders with many holes to allow the whey to drain freely. Ideally, they should not have a bottom, so that by closing them on one side or the other, we can freely turn the cheese over for pressing.

Lids should also have holes.

  • Thermometer

It is absolutely necessary, since without it it will not be possible to introduce the starter and mold culture at the right time.

  • Plastic container

It will be needed at the final stage, when the cheese will need to be kept in the refrigerator for mold to grow.

Raw materials for Camembert at home

Leaven

In addition, we will prepare in advance a mesophilic starter, a milk-clotting enzyme (can be of plant origin), water solution calcium chloride 10% and dry mold cultures: Penicillium Candidum and Geotrichum Candidum.

All this can be bought on specialized websites.

Milk

And remember that pasteurized milk is best suited for this recipe. Since we do not bring it to a boil, any pathogenic microflora, if any, will not die in it.

In addition, nothing should interfere with the development of mold cultures introduced from outside - this can completely ruin the taste.

Since ancient times, cheese has been considered one of the most delicious delicacies. The situation has not changed at the present time. In some countries it is called a product of happiness. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, it is an elite product. Secondly, it stimulates the appetite. Thirdly, cheeses are very healthy, thanks to the nutrients(phosphorus, proteins, calcium, vitamins). Today, such products are presented in a wide variety. This includes Camembert cheese, the famous Roquefort, mozzarella, and many other varieties. 665 varieties of cheese bear the seal of quality. But no one can say exactly how much various types. There are many of them, even a lot.

When is mold edible...

Do you know which cheeses are considered the most delicious? Of course, with mold.
Contrary to the fears of ignorant people, it is not hazardous to health. After all, these are special types of food mold from the genus Penicillium. It is this that gives the product its original taste. It can cover the cheese head with a delicate crust on top, or it can be inside in the form of thin veins. Almost all blue cheese is made from cow's milk. The famous Roquefort stands apart. Sheep's milk is used for it.

Types of blue cheeses

Mold can be of different colors: greenish, blue, blue, white. However, a general classification has been adopted that divides such cheese into 2 main types.

  • Blue cheeses. Their ripening occurs internally, resulting in a bluish coating on the surface, and the cheese itself is riddled with thin blue-green veins. It resembles a marbled coloring. This alone indicates the elite nature of the product. Mold fungi are introduced into the cheese mass using long needles. This type includes Roquefort, Stilton, and Gorgonzola.
  • White cheeses. Their peculiarity is a thin white crust, resulting from the spraying of penicillin. The main representatives of this type are brie (cheese) and camembert. They are characterized by the smell of moss and damp earth. Depending on the time of ripening, such cheeses can have different tastes. For example, Camembert cheese with white mold may have a pronounced mushroom note. Brie has an ammonia-like smell.

A little about the monuments

How amazing our lives can be sometimes. Did you know that monuments are erected not only to people and animals? It turns out that some food products can also receive this honor, for example, Camembert cheese. In the small town of Vimoutier, a monument was erected to him in 1928. But the cheese itself appeared long before that.

The history of Camembert cheese

It all started in 1791. At that time, a revolution was raging in France. The young Norman peasant woman Marie sheltered the priest Charles Bonvoust in her house. She saved his life by providing shelter, and as a token of gratitude, he revealed to her the secret of a great culinary masterpiece. At that time, no one knew the recipe for the amazingly tasty cheese. Marie took advantage of the priest’s generosity and a year later began selling cheese of the same name in her home village of Camembert.

And almost a century later, Marie’s grandson offered Napoleon III a piece of cheese. The emperor was delighted when he tried the delicacy. Since then, Camembert cheese has begun its proud march across France. Napoleon demanded that he be constantly served at the table.

But the story of cheese does not end there. In 1890, another significant event happened. Engineer Riedel invented a special round wooden box designed for transporting and storing cheese. Today it is considered the distinctive sign of the product. Thanks to this device, Camembert cheese began to be exported outside of France and sold all over the world.

Today this product is produced not only in this country. Its production has been successfully mastered in the USA and Holland, Denmark and Germany.

Secrets of making Camembert

This amazing product has a soft consistency. This is a very fatty cheese. Its peculiarity is that it is made from whole cow's milk, which is in no way pasteurized. To have it High Quality, graze cows on special pastures. The finished cheese can have different colors. Sometimes it has a dark brick tint, sometimes pale cream.

Production technology

The process of making this cheese is seasonal, it begins in September and ends in May. Two portions of milk are poured into a special container with a lid at intervals of several hours. A couple of hours after adding rennet, ripening begins. To ensure that the cream does not have sediment, the mass is constantly stirred. The mixture is left alone for one night only to drain off any unnecessary liquid. After the mass begins to easily separate from the mold, salt is added to it and placed on special shelves. The cheese is left there until mold appears.

Then it is sent to special chambers called drying chambers. They maintain the desired level of humidity and temperature. There the cheese gradually ripens, the mold continues to grow and acquires the famous gray-blue hue. And only then is it transferred to the basement, where the mold slows down its growth. It turns reddish-brown, and the cheese itself becomes viscous.

This is how Camembert blue cheese is made.

Product Features

The piquancy of the cheese is given by the taste of mold, which can be compared to mushroom. For those who don't know what to do with the crust, you can give little advice: Don’t even think about cutting it off. It is quite suitable for eating. According to gourmets, this is where all the beauty of the product lies.

Camembert cheese is so soft and buttery that it literally melts in your mouth. You are guaranteed an indescribable feeling.

The only negative is that this cheese does not last long, so it is often sold unripe. However, it can reach its condition at your home. Only it cannot be stored in the refrigerator. This cheese loves coolness and darkness. And also air, so under no circumstances wrap it in plastic.

In addition, the cheese wheel cannot be cut if you want the cheese to ripen at home. The integrity of the product can only be compromised immediately before serving.

There are several types of this cheese. They all have some differences in calorie content and their own nuances of taste. Among the varieties common in our country we can highlight Castello Camembert cheese.

There is also President Camembert. His distinctive feature is the fact that it is made from pasteurized milk and has a more neutral taste.
