Camembert black mould problem

[m4rek]

Hey! for the first time I have a problem with camembert, black mold has grown on it. Do you think it can be saved? Maybe I could scrape all mold together with white, wash it with brine and spray the PC?

ps.
In general, the mold looks strange? I used PC neige

Sorry.  I've never seen this before :-(  It *might* be mildew (it kind of looks like it), but I don't think it would inhibit the PC...  I'm not sure.

It might be what's called Poil de Chat (cat's hair) which is a type of mold called Mucor. It can give undesirable flavors to the cheese. Here is a small article: http://heinennellie.blogspot.com/2009/03/poil-de-chat.html

Thanks to you all, I have already thrown it out. Tomorrow I'm going to make new ones, with the difference that I will add geo too - not just pc
