Description

Discover our historic Camembert cheese, handcrafted in Marin County since 1904. This artisan cheese is a tribute to traditional French Camembert and time-tested cheesemaking techniques, passed down through generations. The Thompson family, inspired by the teachings of Louis Cantel—one of the first French cheesemakers in the United States— perfected this classic camembert. Our camembert features a golden paste enveloped in a velvety rind, offering a delightful balance of earthy flavors and the rich aroma of mushrooms. Each bite reflects the historical significance and cultural blend that defines Marin French Cheese Co.

tasting notes
As our camembert cheese matures, its flavors deepen and intensify, transforming the texture into a luxuriously gooey delight. This soft-ripened cheese evolves over time, so be mindful of the date on the package. For those who prefer a milder taste, enjoy it at a younger age. If you crave a richer, slightly funky flavor, allow the cheese to ripen further in its breathable packaging.

Pairing
WINE WINE
An unoaked Chardonnay or Chablis pairs beautifully with this cheese at any stage. For a riper cheese, indulge in a soft red wine for a luxurious experience. For a classic touch, enjoy your camembert alongside a French-style cider, reminiscent of Normandy.
BEER BEER
Prefer beer? A Hefeweizen offers a bright flavor, while sweeter options like Brown Ale, Stout, or Porter complement the cheese's richness.
CHEESEBOARD FAVORITES CHEESEBOARD FAVORITES
Let this camembert cheese shine as the centerpiece of your cheeseboard. Pair it with lightly salted marcona almonds for a nutty contrast, or fresh, dried, or preserved apricots for a touch of sweetness.
STAFF PICKS STAFF PICKS
While our team enjoys this bloomy rind cheese in its purest form, we recommend a delightful dish using leftovers: stuffed mushrooms. The melty camembert topped with crunchy breadcrumbs and fresh parsley creates a winning combination.

    How long should the cheese be out of the fridge before serving?

    It is best to leave your cheese out 30-60 minutes prior to serving for optimal flavor and texture.

    There is white mold on my Petite Breakfast. Is this safe to eat?

    Petite Breakfast is safe to eat even if there is some white mold on the outside. The cheese briefly shares an aging space with our older Brie cheeses and may pick up some of the  cultures that form their rind. It can be enjoyed as is or, if you prefer, you can trim off the white rind.
