Can camembert be made outside France?

Answer 1

At first I said no, but then I checked. The name camembert, as a cheese has become a generic, unprotected name. On these grounds you could produce a similar cheese everywhere, but to a French palate, that would be a bit like drinking Russian champagne.
The French producers won the right to a protected appellation, the "camembert de Normandie" which can be made only in its region of origin, Normandy, in western France.
