"France?s favorite cheese is facing an ?extinction? crisis. Not everyone

"Alarm was raised in January when a recent study by scientists at Paris- Saclay University identified that the main fungus used in creating
Camembert and other cheeses was increasingly in short supply due to the industrial production methods used to keep up with demand.
And while that might spell trouble for a variety of dairy offerings,
some have taken this to mean that poor Camembert ? which is handily sold
in its own wooden box ? is headed for the grave.

?Blue cheeses may be under threat, but the situation is much worse for Camembert, which is already on the verge of extinction,? the French
National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) said in its report about
the findings. Elsewhere, another headline warned of a looming ?cheese crisis,? adding, ?say a prayer for Camembert!?
The cheese stakes couldn?t be higher. Alongside the Louvre, haute
couture and the Eiffel Tower, Camembert is a national treasure beloved
the world over ? as existential to the French as existentialism."
