Is there a difference between Brie & Camembert?
They are both soft-ripened cheese, and there are certainly many similarities, but they are by no means the same.


Camembert is aged at least 3 weeks; Brie may be aged as little as 1 week.
Brie is generally drained for 18 hours; Camembert is drained for 48 hours.
Brie may be salted before aging; Camembert is not.
Brie is more often pasteurized than Camembert (although "genuine" Brie is unpasteurized).


That said, there are many different varieties of Brie and many different varieties of Camembert, and it wouldn't be too surprising to find at least one Brie that tastes exactly like another Camembert.  Still, they are quite different - different moulds, different draining, different aging.
