Camembert purists relish victory over industrial dairy giants
Traditional Camembert producers in Normandy have won a significant legal battle against industrial dairy giants, preventing them from labeling their machine-made cheeses as 'Made in Normandy.' This victory comes after decades of legal struggles, supported by Michelin-starred chefs, to preserve the authenticity of Normandy Camembert. The ruling aims to protect the traditional cheese's superior taste and quality, which is made with raw milk from Norman cows. The decision is seen as a relief for traditionalists who have faced challenges, including declining sales due to the popularity of industrial versions and competition from Italian mozzarella.
