J would not touch this stuff because he said it smelled rotten. I thought it smelled mushroomy and there was no ammonia smell at all. Someone on some cooking show said the best cheeses smell like the feet of angels. The special camembert cheese made by award-winning cheesemaker Herve Mons especially for Whole Foods is one of those delicate stinkers. On election night/J's birthday, I was at the Cupertino Whole Foods (or as I like to call it, the center of all things liberal, expensive and good) searching for this cheese. I was informed that it sold out on the day the San Francisco Chronicle ran the article and would not be in for a few weeks. The night before Thanksgiving--there it was! I tried it and it was good. Very good.
