Ferme de La Tremblaye - Camembert Fermier (Yvelines-FR, 250g)

Ferme de La Tremblaye Camembert Fermier — Yvelines, France

Ferme de La Tremblaye is a working farm in the Yvelines department of Île-de-France, producing one of the most authentic Camemberts available outside of Normandy. This is a true fermier — a farmhouse Camembert made with raw or lightly pasteurized milk from the farm’s own herd, shaped by hand, and aged with the kind of care that industrial producers simply cannot replicate. The result is a Camembert of rare depth and character: dense, funky, and deeply savory, with none of the bland, rubbery texture of supermarket versions. Our French customers — a discerning crowd — call it the best Camembert on this side of the ocean. We’re not inclined to disagree.

The aroma is boldly fungal and earthy. On the palate, dense mushroom and forest floor notes give way to distinctive roasted root vegetable flavors and a robust, endive-like bitterness on the finish. Rich, complex, and unapologetically savory — this is Camembert for people who know what Camembert is supposed to taste like.

“Is this the best Camembert available on this side of the ocean? That’s what our legion of French customers say, and who are we to disagree? Dense fungal overtones are followed by distinctive reminiscences of roasted root vegetables and a robust, endive-like finish. Put another way, it’s savory cheese bliss.” — Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger | 67 Gourmet
