Cooking President Camembert
Discussion
Hi folks,
I love to order camembert when out at my local Beefeater restaurant and I recently found out that it's made by President. As luck would have it, Tesco stock it...and having cooked it in the oven for around 20-25 minutes tonight, I'm sorry to say that it tasted nothing like it does in the restaurant!
It was a little 'gooey' and sticky like it is when I eat out but it had an almost acidic taste and really didn't taste that nice at all. Am I doing something wrong?
I recently bought *rather expensive* camembert from a local market and it tasted to me like ammonia! Now either my taste buds are less than sophisticated or I'm doing something wrong!
All advice welcome :-)

There are plenty of recipes on the internet, I don't stick to a brand, usual just what is on offer. I usually take it out of the fridge well in advance to raise the temperature, then cut this holes with a knife and place shards of garlic and rosemary. If I'm in the mood a drop of honey on top for a sweet / salt flavor works well too. Then cook for about 20 mins at around 190.
Maybe the taste prob lies elsewhere...could your tongue/taste pathway possibly be broken at all, or need recalibrating?
ps, how do you call a french bear? Camembert ('come on, bear')
and
There was an explosion at a cheese factory in France… all that was left was de brie.
and
How do you handle dangerous cheese? Caerphilly
etc
