The Big Stink "Camembert Cheese" outdated?

Camembert Tips
The downy white mold should be downy white. The mold is completely edible. However, there are no culinary demerits if you prefer the creamy cheese inside. When the mold starts getting brown streaks, it's getting old. Sometime after this the cheese will start smelling like ammonia. Toss it.
To give the cheese a longer life, keep it in the refrigerator. But for the best flavor, serve Camembert at room temperature—it'll taste better and spread better on bread or crackers.
