Belle-Mère

Belle-Mère is a traditional cheese that’s produced in Saint-Benoit d’Hébertot in Calvados, Normandy. The cheese is made from pasteurized cow’s milk. Underneath its bloomy rind sprinkled with breadcrumbs, the texture is semi-hard, dense, and slightly crumbly.

The aromas are reminiscent of honey and roasted almonds, while the flavors are creamy and slightly tangy. It’s recommended to pair the cheese with full-bodied red wines.
