Pavé de Calais is a unique soft cheese with a washed rind, produced by Fromagerie Sainte Godeleine. It is made from pasteurized cow's milk sourced locally and aged for four weeks. During the aging process, the cheese is regularly brushed with salted water, resulting in a moist orange-colored rind.
Fromagerie Sainte Godeleine - Les Frères Bernard is a family-owned cheese dairy established in 1990, located on the picturesque Côte d’Opale in the Hauts-de-France region of France. With a tradition spanning over three decades, this small yet renowned dairy produces authentic French cheeses using milk sourced from local farms within a 20-kilometer radius.
Their cheeses are crafted using traditional methods, with meticulous attention to every detail in the production process. The assortment includes a wide range of cheeses with diverse flavors and textures, from mild and creamy to more intense and aromatic varieties.
Among their most famous products are Sablé de Wissant, a cheese aged with local beer, Fort d’Ambleteuse, which gains its unique flavor through cider brushing, and Camembert du Boulonnais, handcrafted from raw milk. The dairy places special emphasis on preserving local heritage and authenticity while offering customers an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
