Cheese Platter

Camembert is king in the dairy realm of Normandy. This tangy, opulently creamy cow's-milk cheese with the star billing and worldwide reputation hails from the Auge region. The best— Véritable Camembert de Normandie—with velvety white rinds and supple, sometimes oozy interiors, are produced on small farm properties, such as the esteemed Moulin de Carel. Other members of Normandy's (cheese) board are the savory, grassy Pont L'Evêque, the impressively pungent Livarot with rust-colored rind, and the Pavé d'Auge, a robust cheese with a honey-hued center.
