An example of less pleasant taste of organic cheese: Gillot

Usually organic tastes better. It is mainly because organic farmers chose old cultivars, that are more resistant to pests and restricted irrigation. The result is a tastier apple, radish or tomato. It is the same for dairy and meat, organic farming is more extensive, free range and grass-fed for ruminants. 
I have verified this observation several times.
Gillot is an exception.
Its red sticker conventional Camembert tastes far better than the pale sticker organic one. It got several gold medals in Concours Agricole.
Why?
It is not the pasteurisation process. 
Bot are raw milk cheeses.
It is the milk and/or the présure (aka the bacteria). 


The other possibility is the length of the fermentation/maturation process as it remains 0,5g/100g of carbs in the organic Camembert versus 0g/100g in the conventional.
