Petit Livarot AOP E. Graindorge is a traditional French cheese with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, produced at the E. Graindorge dairy in Livarot, Normandy. This cheese is well known for its intense aroma and rich flavor, which develop during the aging process.


It is distinguished by its orange rind, achieved through washing in brine and coloring with natural annatto. Petit Livarot is made from pasteurized cow’s milk and features a soft, creamy texture with mild, nutty, and earthy notes.
