Pont l’Évêque is a soft-ripened, washed-rind cheese made from cow’s milk.
The cheese, which takes its name from the small town of Pont- l’Évêque situated between Lisieux and Deauville, was already very appreciated in medieval times in Normandy. It was first called “angelon”, “angelot”, and then “augelot” in the 16th century. It has been known as Pont-l’Evêque since the 17th century. It obtained a registered designation of origin (AOC) in 1972 and a protected designation of origin (AOP) in 1996.It possesses a thin, pinkish, cross-ruled rind covered with powdery white down. The paste is smooth, shiny and sprinkled with small holes.

Valencay – 220g
$145Valençay cheese is one of the classic French cheeses made in the province of Berry in central France. It is named after the town of Valençay in the Indre department, France.
This cheese comes in two types: the one coated with wood ash and produced on farms is called Valençay Fermier while the other coated with vegetable ash and made in dairies or industries is called Valençay Laitier.
Valençay is an unpasteurised goats-milk cheese. Its rind has a rustic blue-grey colour which is made of the natural moulds. The rind is then darkened by dusting charcoal powder. It is available usually between March and December, with peak manufacture between April and August.
Valençay cheese used to have a shape of a perfect pyramid with a pointed top. But when Napoleon returned to the castle of Valencay after his unsuccessful expedition in Egypt, he saw the cheese, in a fit of rage drew his sword and cut off the top of the cheese. Since then the cheese has always been made with a flattened top.
