Pont-l'Évêque

Pont-l'Eveque is a soft cow's milk cheese made in Pays d'Auge. The square-shaped cheese is sold after it had matured for at least 14 days. It owes its unique flavor to the fact that the cows graze on pastures which have mild and damp environments.

The cheese is pale yellow on the inside while the washed rind on the exterior is white-orange in color. The body is neither sticky nor runny. It has a creamy, earthy flavor and makes for a great dessert cheese at the end of a meal, paired with a glass of full-bodied wine.

It is recommended to take it out of the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature for an hour before consumption.
