Do you prefer 'Brie' or 'Camembert' cheese, and why?!

Answers:
Good question and quite complicated ( unless your a real cheese person)!.
As you know, real Camemberts all come in 8 oz!.boxes!.
Real brie ( such as "Fromage de Meaux) come in 6lb wheels!.
Here's where it's complicated!.
If you walk into a supermarket( and not a real cheese store) you will see both Bries and Camemberts in both denominations!. You will see both 8oz Bries and 4 or 5 lbs Camemberts( real Camembert from Normandy is not produced in this shape or form)!.
So what's real and what's not!?
Claudel for instance makes 8 oz Bries and Camemberts and they're exactly the same cheese in a different colored box!.
Brands play a big role here!.
That being said, if I had lets say Chatelain Camembert and Brie de Meaux!.
I would probably go with the Meaux!. But it's close!.
They both have an earthy mushroomy aroma, and a superb flavor!.
Close call here, both ( when you get the real deal) are very similar!.
Yes, I'll say Brie de Meaux over Normandy Camembert!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like both, in fact I really like most cheese!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Brie!.!.camembert is stronger - stronger smell and taste, but with a good red wine, it is good too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I personally like Camembert better, it seems to be more buttery than Brie!. It also seems to spread better than Brie, easier when serving guests (or guests are serving themselves!.) But both are fine choices, very tasty!.
Peace!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

They taste pretty well the same to me, but some Camembert is too strong, so I would have to go with Brie!. It goes nicely with fruit, like grapes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
