Pont l’Évêque
More
Created by 13th century monks and celebrated in the epic love poem ‘Roman de la Rose’, Pont l’Évêque is a soft, creamy cheese with subtle hints of salt and a sweet fruity tang. Its famous farmyard aroma, however, might be more of an acquired taste. Made en carré (in a square) from cows’ milk in […]
Neufchâtel Heart Shaped Cheese
More
Neufchâtel heart shaped cheese is easy to love, with a delicate creamy, salty mushroomy taste and flowery rind. As it ages it becomes stronger and crumbly. One of the great cow’s milk Normandy cheeses, Neufchâtel heart shaped cheese is also kinder to your heart as it has a lower fat content than most soft cheeses. […]
Munster
More
A cheese with its own museum (La Maison du Munster) is definitely one worth getting to know. Smooth, strong, sweet and spicy, Munster dates back to 7th century Alsace and was made by Benedictine monks who weren’t allowed to eat meat and so wanted something tasty to compensate. (Munster = monastery). It’s matured in caves […]
Livarot

Today it’s also known as ‘the colonel’ thanks to the rings of raffia […]
Camembert Rustique
More
Authentic earthy, buttery, creamy camembert from Normandy, proudly displaying its AOC badge. Wonderfully smelly, it packs a punch of flavour that’s pure France. Only milk from the finest Normandy herds raised is considered good enough for this cheese. Let it ooze over your cheeseboard so you have to lick it off your fingers. Yum yum […]
Camembert Artisan de Normandie
More
Camembert de Normandie is similar to Brie de Meaux but tends to be stronger tasting. It has that same lovely rich velvety feel in your mouth and is delicately salty with a mushroomy tang. Camembert de Normandie must be made with unpasteurised milk and has a distinct ammonia smell. It doesn’t keep for long so […]
Camembert With Calvados Le Cados
More
Le Cados is unpasteurized – a precious little cheese washed in Calvados and then wrapped in toasted breadcrumbs. A mild, appley, earthy delight of a cheese with a touch of sweetness and the classic camembert tang. The aroma might hit you for six at first but keep your nerve and dive in – you most […]
