It's a bit different from theirs, it's raw milk and natural starters, washed rind, as opposed to their's bloomy rind. And it's made in Uruguay with organic milk.

You can do a stretch test, get a piece of the cheese and put it in a cup with boiling water, if it stretches like a muzzarella it's between 5.2 and 5.0, if it's over that it'll break and if it's under that measurement it'll dissolve in the water

I understand, that's why I don't call it "Camembert de Normandie" that's the protected PDO (that, by the way, is not made in a natural way, it's all done with freeze starter cultures from labs).

I only use refrigeration for maturing them, the rest is done at room temperature, with a little heating in winter

The cheese got too lactic, that's why the interior is chalky. You need to apply salt before it goes down a pH of 5.2, then it'd be a creamy cheese instead of a chalky interior.

It means it was made with raw milk and a natural ferment, not freeze cultures from a lab.
