The Higher the Stank, the Closer to God

What do a runaway priest, a Norman maiden, and a stinky wheel of cheese have in common? According to legend: the birth of Camembert, France’s most infamous fromage. But is that story fact or just a little too… cheesy?

In this episode, Emily and Caroline dig into the rind wars, the myths, and the funk:

How Camembert, Brie, and other bloomy cheeses got their snowy white coats
The cheese faux pas that’ll get you permanently uninvited from Caroline’s dinner parties
Why so much Camembert is bad (and how to spot the real deal)

Nicknamed “God’s Feet” for its aroma, Camembert isn’t just a cheese — it’s a cultural battlefield. We’re here to slice through the myths and tell you what’s really on the plate.
