Itineraire des Saveurs Neufchatel AOP Cow's Milk Cheese

Neufchatel is the oldest AOP cheese in Normandy.

Legend has it that the young girls of the Pays de Bray would offer a heart-shaped cheese to English soldiers to show their love. Today, Neufchatel is a protected designation of origin, which guarantees the preservation of this ancestral know-how and protects it from any imitation.

The protected designation of origin is the European equivalent of the controlled designation of origin, which is a national recognition, implying a close link between the product, the terroir and human talent. PDO offers a guarantee of the origin of the product and of the traditional methods of manufacture. It gives the cheese all its typicity.

To be recognized as PDO, the cheese must:

• come from a defined and delimited production area with milk from the same area
• meet specific production conditions
• have a recognized notoriety and seniority
• be subject to an approval and control procedure
