Pont L'Eveque
|
 
|
| One of the world’s ancient cheeses, Pont L’Eveque dates back to the Thirteenth Century. Made on the coast of Normandy on small farms that use rich salt milk, Pont L’Eveque is a small cheese that is formed into a square shape. Pale yellow in color with a white-orange rind, it is a very rich and soft cheese with a supple yet firm consistency. It is well known for its delicate bouquet, which is said to be reminiscent of the Norman countryside, however it does tend to have a strong, pungent aroma that is not for the timid. The flavor is creamy and full-bodied, especially if you choose to eat the rind (some prefer to trim it). Packed in its own little wooden box and aged for 45 days, Pont L’Eveque is a cheese the French are very proud to call their own.

One of the ancestor of Norman cheeses was made from the
twelfth century on by monks living in the Pont-l’Evêque area.
It was mentioned by Guillaume de Loris in the book called “Roman de la
Rose” under the name of ANGELOT. Quoted during the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries by various chroniclers under the name of AUGELOT, in reference
to its original area, the “Pays d’Auge”, it was eventually called Pont-l’Evêque
during the seventeenth century. |
