Temperature
Store Camembert cheese in the refrigerator, ideally between 2-7°C (35-45°F), to maintain optimal freshness and slow down ripening.
Signs of Spoilage
- An overly strong, ammonia-like smell, indicating it has become too ripe or is spoiling.
- A slimy or sticky surface on the rind or paste, suggesting bacterial growth.
- Significant discoloration, such as dark mold spots (beyond the natural white bloomy rind) or a greyish hue to the paste.
