help Cambozola FAQ
What is Cambozola cheese?
Cambozola is a German soft-ripened blue cheese produced by Käserei Champignon in Bavaria. It combines a white edible mold rind and soft paste with blue mold veins inside.
Why is Cambozola named after Camembert and Gorgonzola?
The name refers to the cheese’s combination of two styles: a Camembert-like white rind and soft texture with Gorgonzola-like blue veining. It is therefore a German cheese with a deliberately blended character.
Does Cambozola have an edible rind?
Yes, its white mold rind is intended to be edible when the cheese is properly stored and ripe. The interior remains soft and creamy, with blue mold providing a stronger flavor than a plain Camembert-style cheese.
How is Cambozola different from Gorgonzola?
Cambozola is made in Bavaria and uses a soft-ripened white rind associated with Camembert. Gorgonzola is an Italian protected blue cheese with its own regional production rules and a different texture and flavor profile.
