Pont l'Évêque

Cheese: Pont l'Évêque
Region: Northwest France (Pays d'Auge farm in Normandy)
Milk: Cow

After Camembert, Roquefort and Brie, Pont l'Évêque is the most popular cheese in France. It's got a beige crust that covers a straw colored paste. The flavor is big -- similar to Camembert -- and so is the smell.

This cheese is cut from squares, unlike most cheeses which are made in circles.

Wine: Rioja Reserva, Calvados; Full-bodied red Bordeaux, Burgundy or Rhône.
