Pont l'Eveque is one of the worlds ancient cheeses. It dates back to the thirteenth century and was called d'Angelot. The cheese then took the name of the village in Normandie where it is mainly produced. Pont L'Eveque is a small square-shaped cheese of a pale yellow colour and with a white-orange rind. Near the coast of Normandie, Pont l'Eveque is made on small farms using rich salty and pasteurised cow's milk. The cheese is well known for its delicate bouquet, which is rumoured to be reminiscent of the Norman countryside. Pont l'Eveque is a very rich and soft cheese with a creamy and full-bodied flavor.

What to drink with Pont L`Eveque? Normandy, or our Somerset Cider are great partners, as is Calvados or our Somerset Cider Brandy og Kingston Black Aperitif. Aromatic White Wines, such as our G?rztraminer, from Alsace or Chile. Brings a fruity, spicy, and rose-petal aroma that balances the cheese's creamy and pungent character. Off-Dry Riesling or our Alsace Pinot Gris provide high acidity and gentle sweetness to cut through the salty richness. Chenin Blanc or a crisp Chardonnay like Meursault also work well. Prefer Red Wine, then enjoy alongside our light Red Wines: Fruit-forward, low-tannin reds like a crisp Gamay, such as our Morgon.
