Raw milk, at least half from Normande cows, is matured cool, then set with animal rennet in small basins at no more than 37 °C. The curd is ladled into each mould in at least five passes 40 minutes apart and drains on its own for at least 18 hours. Dry-salted, it grows a white rind in the ripening room and reaches customers no earlier than day 22. Made in 8 steps over 45 days. The longest step, ripen in the hâloir, takes at least 22 days (INAO 2013) and runs at 10–18 °C (INAO 2013). The native lactic flora of the raw milk, plus harmless added lactic cultures and Penicillium candidum, the white felted rind do most of the fermenting.
Amounts from a sourceThe specification fixes limits, not a recipe. Each basin holds at most 330 l, and each cheese is 10.5–11 cm across and weighs at least 250 g.
Raw cow milk · At least 50% of the herd's dairy cows are Normande; part-skimmed to about 28–29 g fat per litre; never heated above 40 °C, bactofuged or filtered[bo-cam2013]

What makes this one different
Pasteurised milk spread through Camembert making after the Second World War, but Camembert de Normandie must still use raw milk, from herds that are at least half Normande cows. Its curd is laid into each mould in five or more slow passes, not poured at once, and drains with no whey drawn off, which keeps the paste supple.
Milk
Raw milk, at least 50% from Normande cows, stored no more than 72 h; cold maturation under 24 h at 22 °C or less; never heated above 40 °C
Setting
Animal rennet in basins of up to 330 l at 37 °C or less
Moulding
Ladled in at least 5 passes at least 40 min apart; drains on its own for at least 18 h from the first ladle
Salting
Dry salt
Ripening
Ripening room at 10–18 °C; not packed before day 13, delivered no earlier than day 22 after renneting
Size
10.5–11 cm across, at least 250 g; fat in dry matter at least 45%; at least 115 g dry matter per cheese; wooden box
This is a raw-milk cheese. ANSES advises pregnant women, young children, people over 65 and people with weak immunity not to eat raw-milk cheeses other than cooked pressed ones such as Comté.
Hazards the sources name: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli (risks ANSES names for raw-milk cheeses).
Thomas Corneille's geographical dictionary, published in 1708, describes a Monday market at Vimoutiers selling the cheeses of the Camembert country. Tradition credits Marie Harel and a refractory priest around 1791. A wooden box invented around 1890 helped it travel, and Pasteur's pupils selected the white surface moulds. A court made the word "camembert" public in 1926; the AOC "Camembert de Normandie" followed in 1983.
