Pont-l’Évêque is known as the oldest cheese from Normandy. It was created in the 12th century by monks living near Caen, in Normandy. In 1996, it was awarded the precious Protected Designation of Origin or PDO, label. This guarantees the origin of the milk, the way the cows are fed and reared, as well as the preserved know-how and local production of this cheese.Our PDO Pont-l’Évêque is made according to a very old cheesemaking tradition that continues to this day. We select the best milks, which are exceptionally rich in fat, protein and Omega 3, as well as the lactic flora characteristic of the Isigny terroir.For the best experience, remove the Pont-l’Évêque from its box and gently turn it upside down onto a serving platter. Let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the aromas to fully develop. Best enjoyed cold with bread or crackers, and pairs beautifully with cider or beer.
Founded in 1909 in Normandy, the Isigny Sainte-Mère Cooperative is world-renowned for its exceptional dairy products.Drawing on the richness of its milk ("the white gold of Normandy)", Isigny Sainte-Mère produces butters, creams and cheeses that are distinguished by their unique flavours, cementing its worldwide reputation. Collected within a maximum 50 km radius of the Cooperative, the milk is delivered within 48 hours to the Isigny Sainte-Mère cooperative to preserve all its qualities.Located in the heart of Normandy, in the Baie des Veys where the land meets the sea, the Isigny terroir is exceptionally rich, offering cows unparalleled grazing to produce high-quality milk.
