Pont l'Évêque Memorial Day and the cheese is agedPont l'vque is a washed rind cow's milk cheese made in Normandy. It is similar to Livarot, with warm, buttery, savory flavors and tangy, fruity undercurrents. Legend has it that Pont l'vque was introduced by monks in the Pays d'Auge during the Middle Ages and it was known by its current placename by the seventeenth century. With its mild, milky, and grassy flavors, Pont l'vque is a prime example of the very high quality of French washed rind cheeses.
