Camembert Reo

Not rated yet

Made in Lessay, Normandy by Fromagerie Réo, this traditional Camembert has been hand-ladled since 1931 using milk sourced from nearby farms within a 30 km radius of the dairy. The authentic French version carries AOP/PDO protection and is made from raw milk, while the US-imported version is gently pasteurized to meet regulations without losing its traditional character. Réo remains one of the few larger producers still committed to careful hand-ladling and classic Normandy cheesemaking methods.
