Camembert Cheese

Camembert cheese was first produced in the 18th century in Camembert, Normandy in the North of France. It is very similar to Brie cheese, which is from the Brie region of France. It’s a soft creamy cow’s milk cheese and is easily found in most Australian supermarkets. In Australia, we have several different options including double cream and triple cream Camembert.

Camembert and Brie are very similar cheeses. Both of these cheeses have a white mould surface and are known as surface ripened cheeses. The inside of these cheeses are a soft creamy texture and the outside has a white rind. They do have some differences though. Brie tends to have a higher fat content at 65% with camembert closer to 45%.

If you are wanting to make this dish and looking to increase the fat content, choose a brie or camembert with a higher fat content. The higher the fat content the richer and creamier the cheese is likely to be.

They have sugar free varieties of the following jams:

Hawthorne
Apricot

Tips

Feel free to choose your favourite soft cheese. Camembert and Brie will both work perfectly for this recipe.
We used a small cast iron pan to bake ours in, but you can use a small baking dish or a ramekin. It will even work on some baking paper on a baking tray.
If you want to experiment with the flavours of the toppings, you could also use different nuts like pecans or pine nuts.
If you can’t access the Hawthorne Hills apricot jam, you could use any other sugar free jam that is keto friendly.

Suggestions

Our favourite way to serve this is with our favourite keto crackers. We have a few favourites now. If you want to know what crackers we prefer check out the crackers section above.
