" . . . Last week’s compromise might bring the conflict to an end, but it is a stunning victory for Lactalis.
All of the pasteurised cheese will be brought back within the appellation, and there will be a new category of “Veritable Camembert de Normandie” for raw milk cheese.
As such, it institutionalised the existing legal obfuscation. Camembert is now a cheese of the multinationals."
Decisions made by the French government last week mean that the best Camembert should now be considered an endangered species.
