JE VOUS AI COMPRIS!” De Gaulle in Algiers, June 4 1958 (the bespectacled fellow on the right is anthropologist, spymaster, politician and De Gaulle’s pal Jacques Soustelle) The origin of the cheese known today as Camembert is more likely to rest with the beginnings of the industrialization of the cheesemaking process at the end of the 19th century. [5] In 1890, an engineer, M. Ridel, devised the wooden box that was used to carry the cheese and helped to send it for longer distances, in particular to America, where it became very popular. These boxes are still used today. In any case, it evokes that there was indeed a transmission of the techniques from an area like Brie, where this type of cheese is very old, to [Pays d’Auge], where it is a much more recent addition to the landscape.”

Retrieved 2023-06-15.Like in any monarchy, succession is one, if not the monarch’s central concern — but also that of his courtiers, of his sworn enemies and of all the usual cast of rumor-mongers, reprobates, prospective turncoats and budding traitors. And because it is an elective monarchy rather than a dynastic one, the public plays the pivotal role in that recurring high-stakes drama.

And for the only time in the history of the Fifth Republic a vote of no confidence passed (the motion de censure ), leading to the fall of the government on October 4th 1962. It was the last time a French parliament truly exercised its powers, on the cusp of losing them all. For reference, the right wing held a majority of 489 in a chamber of 576 members.

No matter how the technique arrived, the Normandy region that had previously produced only washed-rind cheeses like Livarot or Pont l’Evêque suddenly began making bloomy-rinded cheese like brie in the 18th Century, and camembert has been inextricable from Camembert ever since. In case you choose anyway to freeze your product, freezing should be done at or below 0 degrees Fahrenheit and the product kept at the same temperature. And thawing should be done at refrigeration temperature between 32 and 41 degrees Fahrenheit. First, rennet is added to the milk, then the curd is moulded with a ladle (six ladlefuls 60 minutes apart for each Camembert). Afterwards it will be salted and inoculated. A thin, white bloom will delicately cover the cheese. Finally, it will be aged for 15 days in a drying room so that the cheese develops its ensemble of flavours. The pasteurisation of the milk allows for mechanised production, particularly during coagulation. On continuous curdling machinery, the coagulated milk is cut into small cubes to facilitate moulding.

Before fungi were understood, the colour of Camembert rind was a matter of chance, most commonly blue-grey, with brown spots. From the early 20th century onwards, the rind has been more commonly pure white, but it was not until the mid-1970s that pure white became standard.

Richez-Lerouge believes that this decision sounds the death toll for quality camembert, telling the Daily Telegraph that the cheese will now likely “sink inexorably into mediocrity”. Despite the loss of the word, locals did finally earn AOC status for the traditional cheese in 1983, when the INAO developed an official charter, not for ‘camembert’ but for the phrase ‘Camembert de Normandie’. The cheese, it was decided, would be obligatorily made in Normandy, with the raw milk of pastured herds of cows ‘in a process of genetic evolution’ towards the Normande breed (a rule that was modified to specify that, at first, 25%, and then, in 2017, 50% of the herd be made up of Normande cattle).

The final conclusion of the Algerian crisis promised a return to the more regular state of affairs, where Parliament would reassert its sway and its full powers of nuisance. It was the end of De Gaulle’s de facto free rein. It became apparent to De Gaulle that the rowdy and splintered legislators were not keen to follow his lead. The Constitution of 1958 had failed to solve the quandary that had brought it into existence in the first place: government weakness and instability stemming from a fractious parliament.

The first camembert was made from unpasteurized milk, and the AOC variety "Camembert de Normandie" (approximately 10% of the production) is required by law to be made only with unpasteurized milk. Many modern cheesemakers outside of Normandy, France, however, use pasteurized milk for reasons of safety, compliance with regulations, or convenience. [2] In 1962 De Gaulle had another problem on his hands: his legislative majority, although enormous, was an unwieldy and unreliable alliance. His own party, UNR, did not control parliament. He had opted for a referendum to ratify the Évian accords with the Algerian Provisional Government, in part because he could not trust right-wing MPs on the issue of peace and Algerian independence. How can you govern a country that sports 258 varieties of cheese?” De Gaulle had once quipped. The quote may be apocryphal but it captures the essence of the Général’s theory of governance. It points to the fragmentation and to the centrifugal forces that stirred in French society. In his experience, if the myriad of local and class interests that make up France were given legislative representation and power, nothing could ever get accomplished. At heart, his was a pessimistic view of France’s political culture and civic life, but one that was not necessarily unfounded. Don’t forget, parliamentary rule had failed not once but twice in the span of two short decades, in 1940 and in 1958. Both times De Gaulle had ridden to the rescue (in somewhat ambiguous circumstances in 1958, but that’s for another post). Say what you will about the tenets of Gaullism, but the man had a point. Camembert ( / ˈ k æ m ə m b ɛər/, also UK: /- m ɒ m b ɛər/, French: [kamɑ̃bɛʁ] ⓘ) is a moist, soft, creamy, surface-ripened cow's milk cheese. It was first made in the late 18th century in Camembert, Normandy, in northwest France. It is sometimes compared in look and taste to brie cheese, albeit with a slightly lower butterfat content than brie's [1]Brie and Camembert are two similar soft cheeses that are both made from cow's milk. Despite their similarities, there are notable differences between them, including their origin, market shape, size, and flavor. This, he notes, means that pasteurised cheeses can achieve a far more interesting, complex flavour today than even 20 years ago (The Canadian camembert deemed the world’s best was made with pasteurised milk.) This also means, of course, that these camemberts can be exported to international markets that wouldn’t accept cheese made from raw milk. We’ve been able to isolate more and more interesting strains [of local microorganisms] with which to make cheese,” Carantino said. “At the beginning, we added about two or three [strains]; now we can add dozens.” Most of the Président® products are Kosher but not all.
