In the heart of Normandy, in the village of Camembert, lived a farm woman named Marie Harel. During the French Revolution, she offered refuge to a resistant priest, the Abbott Bonvoust. In return, he gave her his secret for making a cheese from the area. The recipe was passed down from generation to generation and, in the 19th century, Camembert set off to conquer Paris and all of France. In its round wooden box, it travelled the world and the success was so great that everywhere it went, people wanted it to be their own. Then the handicraft methods gave way to modern manufacturing techniques. but the genuine Camembert has not changed: with Président, tradition has sided with modernity to offer you the best of cheeses.
