Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Take the Camembert cheese and remove any plastic or paper wrapping, leaving the wooden box intact. Place the cheese back inside its wooden case (or in an oven-safe dish if no wooden box is provided).
Using a sharp knife, score the top rind of the Camembert in a crisscross pattern. Be careful not to cut through to the bottom rind.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the top of the cheese and place small rosemary sprigs into the cuts.
Chop the walnuts roughly into smaller pieces and sprinkle them evenly over the cheese.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey over the walnuts and the top of the Camembert.
Place the Camembert on a small baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and gooey inside.
Carefully remove from the oven and serve immediately with sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh bread, for dipping.
