About this item
Pont l’Evêque is a square-shaped, washed-rind cheese made in a part of Normandy famous for its lush pastures. The small Normand cows give us some of the greatest and most widely recognized French cheeses: Pont l’Evêque, Livarot, and Camembert. Although a sniff of Pont l’Evêque might conjure up eau de moldy cellar, it tastes like savory nuts and butter flavor and is a great after-dinner cheese.
Pont l’Evêque is one of the world's oldest cheeses-the first record of its existence dates back to 1230. Like every aging diva, it has an extensive grooming routine. It rests on a straw mat and is treated to regular washings, brushings, and turnings in order to encourage special bacteria to grow on the rind. The straw mat leaves its mark on the cheese in the form of a crosshatched impression.
