According to legend, it was Marie Harel who invented what is now the most famous French cheese in the small village of Camembert in the Orne department during the French Revolution. The soft cheese made from partially skimmed raw milk has a white noble mold rind, some of which is pigmented red. It is filled into the mold with a ladle in five stages at intervals of 40 minutes.
Camembert de Normandie has been labeled with the European seal AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) since 1983.
The red European AOP seal (appellation d'origine protégée = "protected designation of origin") guarantees the consumer that all production stages take place exclusively in the defined geographical area of the designation, from the production of the milk to the maturing of the cheese.
In France, 45 types of cheese, 3 types of butter and 2 types of cream are labeled with the European seal "AOP".
