Density 29 · -6 vs Dairy & eggs medianCamembert scores 29 of 100 on the Nutrient Density Score, Low band, and ranks 39 of 60 in Dairy & eggs. Its soft, bloomy rind belies a solid nutrient profile per calorie: protein at 40% DV, calcium at 30% DV, and vitamin A at 27% DV.
It is typically served at room temperature on a cheese board, baked whole, or spread on crackers, with one ounce (28 g) as the reference serving. Sodium runs high at 842 mg per 100 g and saturated fat at 15.3 g per 100 g, so it is a food best enjoyed in small portions rather than by the wedge. Scoring below the Dairy & eggs median of 35, fontina is a same-category option that ranks slightly higher.
