Camembert cheese is one of the most popular and delicious soft cheeses on the market. There are so many ways in which this particular type of cheese can be enjoyed. If you are planning on entertaining guests, you should make sure that you know the best ways of serving this delicious treat.

Serving tips and advice:

  • No matter the type of cheese you plan on serving, Camembert cheese included, it’s best to allow it to warm slightly to room temperature first. If it is too cold, it can conceal the flavours.
  • Camembert has a delicious rind that some people might feel unsure about upon first sight. The white powder is a healthy type of mould that adds to the beneficial properties as well as the flavour.
  • You should always serve cheese with some kind of crackers or bread. Plain salted crackers are best since you don’t want cheese, onion or bacon flavours to interfere with the cheese flavour itself.
  • If you have a beautiful piece of slate or natural stone, you should use it to serve your cheese. It helps ensure that the surface area remains a moderate temperature and it looks beautiful too.
  • Set some fruit preserves or honey on the side. You can also offer your guests some sweet chilli sauce if you like. It’s great for those who enjoy their cheeses a bit on the sweeter side.

Other delicious ways of serving Camembert

Apart from serving on a cheese platter, you can also add Camembert cheese to your green salad. It also pairs very well with different types of fruit like apples and pears. Nuts will give your salad a delicious crunch and your dressing should be something like a light vinaigrette.

Warm and scrumptious

If you want a warm treat, you can wrap your Camembert cheese in foil and bake in the oven or place over hot coals. Once again, you can add nuts and fruit for extra flavour. Alternatively, you can add some bacon, ham or any other cold cut to pair deliciously with your baked cheese.

These are just some of the best ways in which you can serve Camembert cheese. Serving cold is best for warmer days while serving hot is ideal for when it’s chilly outside. Cheese is an amazing comfort food and perfect to snack on when entertaining guests.
