I wouldn't risk it. Carried butter in hand luggage from Beauvais Airport, Paris. All confiscated without explanation.

I was carrying cheese in a sealed package, I flew out of Ch. de Gaulle, they saw me, but they didn’t say anything. She also carried a packed cheese sandwich, also passed. So, depending on who you get. The main thing is that there is no smell.

Well, cheese certainly does not fall under the category of liquids and gels, you can take it calmly. The main thing, as already said, is not to stink throughout the cabin.

I know that some varieties are definitely impossible. But I don't know which ones.

According to the rules, soft cheeses cannot be carried in hand luggage. In Charles de Gaulle, in my opinion, they have even begun to write memos about this (in French airports, this topic is more relevant than anywhere else):) Various of my friends have never managed to transport even a banal Camembert in hand luggage (not in a vacuum, without a vacuum). But you can always take a chance

In addition, a quote from the Paris Airport website regarding just carrying food in hand luggage:
You can carry solid food, but no soups, sauces, etc. Generally speaking, liquid or malleable products are prohibited: for instance soft or runny cream cheeses are not authorized in the cabin.
As you can see, all soft and viscous cheeses are not allowed to be carried in hand luggage (it doesn’t matter if they smell or not). Well, you can try your luck - somehow a liter bottle of water was not seized in my backpack at the control)

Camembert, as far as I remember, is far from the state of "runny cream")))). I usually buy brie, I always spent it without problems.

But close to the state of soft:) Like brie.
Yes, at any airport a not dangerous, but prohibited product is sometimes carried - either they didn’t notice at the control, or the security officer is kind today.
If the author does not have an epuas, but an ordinary inexpensive cheese from a supermarket, then you can risk a few euros and try to smuggle it.
Z.Y. By the way, I have never seen Camembert in a vacuum in my life. It is interesting that Lutra's acquaintances tried to smuggle there, and how they managed to vacuum Camembert :)))

If you look carefully, the list contains not only "runny", but also "soft" cheeses. The logic is such (naturally incomprehensible to many) that soft cheeses can melt even at not very high temperatures. I do not insist. It’s just that the author of the question should be warned and ready for the fact that soft cheeses can be withdrawn from hand luggage with a fairly high degree of probability (and not only at French airports, by the way)

Hmm, I didn't read about the software.
But she did not fly out of Paris for the last time, but from another French city. Maybe it's only Paris that got so mad at tourists with cheese in hand luggage?))

I agree with Paris on this, to be honest! :) There is such a stench from cheese that it is simply unbearable.

In general, from all of the above, I conclude that it’s not necessary once at a time, the main thing is not to be smelled) Thank you all for participating in the cheese discussion !!!

I carried nothing, though literally 2 packs of 100 grams, the rest in my luggage.
True, I am lucky with the inspection - in Boryspil in August I forgot to lay out a tourist knife (a large blade, a 110 mm blade) from my purse, and it rolled. In September, I forgot to take off the belt with a metal buckle, and it went away, nothing squeaked :)
