Elaboration
It is made with milk of cow in its entirety, it can be whole or slightly descremada.Su preparation is carried out in several stages. -In the first stage the milk is placed in containers of approximately 60 liters and heated to a temperature of 30º . It is important to carry out pasteurization at the appropriate temperature because when it is carried out at higher and longer temperatures, the dough when cut presents itself as a puff pastry. -Then a yeast is added , a substance that allows the cheesecan drain the whey better and ripen more quickly. -Then a quantity of rennet is added to the milk that will allow it to coagulate in one or two hours. -The second stage is performed in the right place where the temperature ranges between 18 or 20º. The milk is poured into appropriate molds whose bottom has holes to facilitate the elimination of the whey. This process is slow, lasting around 36 hours. The molds are covered with a tin plate that puts pressure on the pasta while removing accumulated air. The molds are placed on a grid made of wicker or fir rods . -The third stage is turning the cheeses several times and then they are removed from the mold and salted. The manufacture of camembert has spread widely inFrance and other countries, therefore, it is mandatory that each box be printed with the inscription of its place of origin.
