This is another ancient Norman cheese made in the area of its namesake in town. Though still a washed rind Cheese, it is much more restrained that Livarot. The rind is generally not as moist and smelly, but rather with a grassy and Mellow bouquet. The flavor is savory, reminiscent of Camembert, with a rich, creamy texture. Product Metrics:
