Scientists predict the end of one of France’s symbols

🧀 Scientists predict the end of one of France’s symbols Strikes, rats, bedbugs, migrants - another scourge has come to France from whence it was not expected. It’s about Camembert cheese. Cultivating white mould on it, industrialists stopped using grey, green and orange moulds, focusing exclusively on the white fungus - Penicillium camemberti. But the albino fungus has almost lost its ability to reproduce over time and may soon cease to exist, The Guardian writes. The same thing could happen to Roquefort cheese, though, there’s already some nabrabotochki . Tatiana Giraud, a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research, said that the only way to save the original Camembert is to diversify reproduction between fungi with different genomes. The appearance and flavour may vary from producer to producer, but it will give you something to snack on with a bottle of Chateau d’Yquem. Источник: Global News (EU, USA)
