Description

Pont-l’Évêque AOP is one of the oldest cheeses of Normandy, with a history dating back to the 13th century. This traditional soft cow’s milk cheese with a washed rind was born in the Pays d’Auge region of Normandy, while its current name became established only in the 16th century. Previously, it was known as Angelot or Augelot, named after the area where it was produced. Today, Pont-l’Évêque is considered one of Normandy’s great gastronomic icons and is protected under AOP designation.

Produced by “Isigny Sainte-Mère”, this Pont-l’Évêque stands out for its rich yet elegant character. Its washed rind may vary from white to soft orange or pinkish hues, while the interior remains soft, supple, and creamy. The aroma reveals notes of hay, damp cellar, farmhouse character, and buttery milk, typical of classic Normandy cheeses. On the palate, delicate nuttiness, milky softness, and a gentle earthy touch create depth and expressive complexity.

This cheese is especially appreciated during the cooler months, from autumn through early summer, when its texture becomes exceptionally creamy and its flavour gains further complexity. Pont-l’Évêque is equally enjoyable as part of a cheese platter or simply served with fresh bread or rustic country loaf.

Traditional Normandy cider is a natural pairing, beautifully highlighting the cheese’s milky and nutty character. It also pairs wonderfully with mineral, gently matured white wines made from ‘Chenin Blanc’, such as those from the Vouvray appellation. For a more celebratory match, Champagne, Crémant, or other elegant sparkling wines are excellent choices.
