The cookies are slightly pale in color and shallowly baked, and when you put them in your mouth, they melt in your mouth, and the flavor of Camembert cheese and a hint of saltiness spreads. The cookie's savory flavor is perfectly balanced with the mildness of the cream. The rich flavor is enhanced by the salt, giving it a flavorful and slightly mature taste.

It would be a good accompaniment to coffee or tea, or even as a snack with wine! Cheese lovers should pick one up!
