GRADES:

• As indicated, you can prepare this recipe with any cheese with characteristics similar to those of camembert.
• Likewise, you can replace apricots with peaches or nectarines.
• Choose the honey that you like the most, but try not to make it have a very strong flavor. A mild honey such as milflower, rosemary or lemon honey gives just the right amount of flavor and aroma without taking too much of a role in the final result.
