Superb Camembert. Unlike most rivals this one is properly ripened before going on sale. Pungent, rich & tasty, it's what the French call 'oncteuse'. Many other 'Camemberts' taste bland - more like an unripe Brie, not Le Rustique! We've enjoyed it even a month 'after date'. A truly remarkable cheese with a traditional mature Cheddar and a ripe Stilton, you have a cheeseboard fit for a king!
Fabulous - thank goodness for the French..!

the tesco one is far better, this stinks and tastes weird and when baked had a strange consistency compared to normal
Too strong and smelly
Beware this will stink out the whole of your fridge. It smells rancid and off it was no pleasant it went in the bin after two unpleasant smelly days, yuk
I threw it straight in the bin!
Very strong (bad) smell but it is Camembert so to be expected. But when I opened the packet the smell was so strong I opened all the windows then checked the "best before" date. Despite supposedly having 3 weeks before it went off, it absolutely stank and even worse tasted liked smoked cheese. Pretty sure something wasn't right. I spat out the first mouthful and threw the rest in the bin.
EXTRA STRONG STINKY CHEESE
This cheese smelt and tasted disgusting as far as I'm concerned but my friends, for whom I'd bought it to put on my barbecue, loved it and ate every scrap. It needs a warning, though. I wrapped it in two bags and put it inside a sealed box but it still stank out my fridge. So then I put it in the freezer and it still stank. It was well within life so I guess it was meant to be like that. If you like strong, stinky cheese, this is strong and stinky.

Smelly from the very start, even when unopened, even when put in a sealed plastic bag, even when then put in a tupperware box with a lid, nothing could contain the odour in the fridge. Tasty, though.
Tastes amazing but will stink out your fridge!
I love this cheese with some freshly baked bread. Although it smells really bad (not when cooking/ eating just when storing it), I had to put it in a separate fridge as it would stink out the whole room every time I opened the fridge.
Top drawer
This is the real stuff, has the right taste and texture, and I should know having lived in France for many years. It will probably not appeal to the English palette as it is rather strong and yes it's smelly. Great with sourdough bread or stuffed into chicken breasts with some garlic.
Delicious cheese!
Absolutely delicious! Normally cook with a bit of garlic, rosemary and toasted sourdough for dipping - such a good tasting cheese. (Does stink out your fridge but well worth it).
