White Mold Cheese

White mold cheese is a soft-ripened cheese covered with a characteristic white rind of Penicillium camemberti or Penicillium candidum. The most well-known varieties include Brie and Camembert. It has a delicate, creamy to buttery flavor that deepens with age and develops a more pronounced earthy note. The paste is soft and oozy at room temperature. It works wonderfully on cheese boards, baked in breadcrumbs, in warm appetizers, or simply served with bread and fruit. When heated, it melts beautifully into a luscious creamy filling.
