I don't remember the smell of a good Camembert being associated with God's feet as Angelique Chrisafis does in Camembert wars get dirty in fight for France's soul (Guardian, April 18).
The pungent aroma of a very ripe Camembert might have been closer to that of dirty socks or do I just remember the stench that the work boots from our first floor neighbor left behind.
He worked at the wholesale fish market.
Angelique visited what is ground zero for the 'Camembert wars'.
She reminds us that Camembert is still the second best selling cheese in France after Emmental which really has Swiss roots.
The battle is over raw milk for the little guys as opposed to pasteurized milk for the agro-businesses who want to change the appellation's rules.
Jump in the Cheese pond with Will Studd and learn the truth and nothing but the truce about Camembert.
Memories get fuzzy but my taste buds can appreciate the difference between cheese from a small producer versus the 'industrial' type, different texture as well.
Feel free to share your favorite Camembert or Camembert logo.
