Red Camembert Cheese Limoges Box

Red packaging wraps this porcelain round of Camembert, the creamy cheese that Normandy made famous. It is a hand-painted Limoges box made in Limoges, France, with a strong flavor of French country life.

A Wheel From Normandy

Camembert takes its name from a village in Normandy, and the cheese is recognized in markets around the world. Here that familiar shape becomes porcelain, with the red color painted by hand.

Good Company on the Board

Set it on a sideboard next to the cheese knives, on a wine rack shelf, or on the counter of a kitchen where baguettes are bought daily. It makes a clever thank-you for whoever hosts the wine and cheese evening, and a fitting present for a cheesemonger, sommelier or anyone just back from a trip through Normandy. Food collectors often build a whole French table around it, adding a baguette, a wine bottle, a croissant and perhaps a small porcelain jar of mustard from Dijon.
