About This Cheese
Pont l’Eveque is rich and creamy, and in perfect condition, can be quite similar to Camembert. The rind of Graindorge’s Pont-l’Évêque is a ridged dusty white, with an occasional orangey/salmon pink tinge. The creamy yellow paste is soft, but not runny with air holes speckled throughout.

Story
The cheese takes its name from the little town of Pont L’Eveque, between Deauville and Lisieux. Pont L’Eveque comes in two basic styles; the first (carried by Sheridans) is brushed regularly during ripening to produce a whitish pink rind with a slightly beige hue. This rind produces a soft long-lasting cheese. The second style involves the frequent washing of the rind with salt water during affinage. This produces a firmer, stronger tasting cheese with a more orange coloured rind. Pont L’Eveque is said to be the oldest Norman style of cheese still in production. The flavour is characterised by a certain nutty sweetness finish and faint smokiness.
