About
Penicillium camemberti is a species of fungus in the genus Penicillium. It is used in the production of soft-ripened cheeses, including Camembert, Brie, Langres, Coulommiers, and Cambozola, on which colonies of P. camemberti form a hard, white crust. It is responsible for giving these cheeses their distinctive flavors. An allergy to the antibiotic penicillin does not necessarily imply an allergy to cheeses made using P. camemberti.
