Description
For many, Pont l’Eveque is the king amongst cheeses. This cheese is steeped in history and is also one of the oldest Normandy cheeses still produced today. The story has it that it was introduced by monks in the Pays d’Auge back in the thirteenth century. They insisted that every fine meal should conclude with a serving of this delicious local delicacy.
Made from cow’s milk, this small square-shaped cheese is pale golden yellow in colour with an orangey white rind. It’s texture is rich and creamy. And it boasts a rustic, farmyard flavour with pronounced aromas and a sweet, earthy finish. You can serve it with some fresh apples or pears. Or bake it in the box with some fresh thyme or rosemary for a deliciously warm, gooey treat.
Cheese and Wine Pairing
Pont l’Eveque cheese pairs particularly well with full-bodied red wines when it comes to wine matching. So why not try it with a bottle of our Chateau Reynier – our classic Claret – or our fantastic Rioja Reserva from North East Spain.
Our Pont l’Eveque is the perfect gift for any cheese lover. Also its rich history and unique flavours truly makes it the king amongst cheeses. Bon appetite!
