Its origins
It comes from the pays d'Auge and more specifically from the south side in between the Orne department and the Calvados department. It is an exceptional area where a unique cheese can be produced because of the richness of the grassland, the regular rainfall and the mild climate.
Tasting Recommendation:
It has s strong flavour and is well paired with full-bodied red wines but you can also savour it with a cider from Normandy or pays d'Auge. Its rind must be smooth and shiny without holes. Its colour varies between auburn and dark brown.
