To be honest, I was born and spent my first 23 years in Normandy, never quite could enjoy the real Camembert. I prefer the supermaket ones with less aggressive taste.

Ofc I moved to China and now all I can eat is Brie.



Order some https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubing from Yunnan on Taobao. For western cheese try https://www.metro.com.cn/en/home who sometimes do good deals on wheels of Gouda, fetta, blue cheeses, etc. Don't buy the small highly marked up stuff from specialty retailers, they're always a ripoff. A couple of importers on Taobao too, for specific products. They are a good source for Indian, Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern ingredients too.


They dont import Camembert in China? In Japan we hardly ever find Brie


No, the only cheese that is easily available in Japan is shredded Gouda.
