Pont-l’Évêque AOP E. Graindorge is a traditional Norman cheese with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, produced at the Graindorge dairy in Livarot, France. This cheese has a square shape and is recognizable by its yellow, washed rind and soft, elastic pale yellow interior.
Its flavor is subtle, with delicate notes of hazelnut and butter, making it pleasant on the palate without being overpowering. Pont-l’Évêque is made from pasteurized cow’s milk, and the aging process lasts at least four weeks, during which the cheese is regularly washed and turned to develop its distinctive aroma and texture.
It is best stored at a temperature between +4°C and +8°C. Thanks to its mild taste, Pont-l’Évêque pairs wonderfully with fresh bread, fruit, or traditional Norman cider, and can also be used in a variety of culinary recipes.
