Which cheese was described by Leon-Paul Fargue, a French surrealist poet, as “the feet of God”?

Camembert is a moist, soft, creamy, surface-ripened cow's milk cheese. It was first made in the late 18th century at Camembert, Normandy, in northern France. It is similar to Brie, which is native to the Brie region of France.

The specific fungus would come later. The American physician Knirim Joe gave Camembert to cure patients with a stomach problem. The French poet Léon-Paul Fargue described the smell of cheese as the smell of "God's feet."

The first camembert was made from unpasteurized milk, and the AOC variety "Camembert de Normandie" (approximately 10% of the production) is required by law to be made only with unpasteurized milk. Many modern cheesemakers, however, use pasteurized milk for reasons of safety, compliance with regulations, or convenience.
