Real Camembert is Illegal in the United States
Authentic camembert – known as Camembert de Normandie – is illegal within the United States. This is because it’s made with unpasteurized milk, making it a health hazard – especially if it’s kept out of the refrigerator for a long period of time. There are other versions of camembert available, but the real deal, fresh from Normandy, can’t be bought anywhere in the US.
