Cheese Details

Back to list

	Pont l'Eveque fermier Pont l’Evêque, quite remarkably, is made from a single square cut piece of curd which is drained and placed in its mould. More than 3 litres of milk are used to make each cheese, an less than 2% of all production is Fermier. The cheese is “dry salted” and washed with brine, giving rise to the pleasing tan coloured rind with a delicate white bloom. Like other washed rind cheeses made in Normandy, Pont l’Evêque develops a pungent, almost earthy aroma. Its smooth, fine-textured pâte is creamy yellow in appearance and sweet to taste.

Normandy and Brittany
Normandy is characterised by lush, rich, low-level farmland where cows and sheep graze freely right up to the coast where the cliffs overlook the English Channel. The soil here is salty, referred to locally as prés-salé meaning salty fields and it is no surprise that the regions cheese inherits some of this salty tang. Inland the land becomes ever more fertile and the landscape is dotted with small villages that provide a base for the local agricultural industry.
