highchol Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I bought a camembert cheese in carrefour yesterday. My wife asked me "do I eat it wth the outside ( rind ) on or off". I said "up to you" I do eat the rind because removing it, I find is abit fiddley and also wasteful! What do you do, prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who, me ? Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 With , of course !!! If it is a real French Camembert, you should bring it out of the fridge 30 mn before you eat it...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Gorgon Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I have never taken the rind off camembert or any other cheese; only the red stuff on the gouda or trimming mould off cheddar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leisurely Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 When I first ventured outside of my cheese comfort zone of cheddar and dairylea I used to fastidiously ream out the cheese from the rinds. This was made easier by not bringing it to room temperature first and discard the rind. Now I whack it all in thank you very much. I actually just got some brie from TOPS after I had the joy of purchasing a packet of high baked water biscuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegha Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Most cheese rinds are edible. The plastic covering around some cheeses is akin to packaging - discard it! Also very important with most cheeses is to remove them from the fridge 20+ mins before eating, improves the taste no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree . I believe it is more hygenic to keep the rind on until ,just before eating. Suegha's tip is not only worthwhile in taste,but also maintains the ratio of warm/cold bacteria . Enjoy !
