ON the face of it, Camembert doesn't seem like an endangered species.
In fact, the soft-ripened cheese seems like the opposite: Three hundred and sixty million wheels are produced annually in France. It's ubiquitous in the United States with the cheese- and-crackers set and is the second-most-popular fromage sold in French markets. US grocery store chain Trader Joe's even hawks "Camembert Cheeese & Cranberry Sauce Fillo Bites" (the three e's in cheese are purposeful).
