Terroir, men
and Normande cows
The quality of our milk is by no means accidental but is the result of close collaboration between farmers and the cheese dairy, as well as particularly demanding specifications, thus guaranteeing the distinctiveness of our Camembert de Normandie and Pont l’Evêque:
- The cows graze on pastures for at least 6 months per year
- 80% of the feed is produced on the farm
- At least 50 % of the herd are Normande cows
- Each cow has the equivalent of half a football pitch
- And of course a defined geographical area
It’s official: all our PDO farmers can now certify that their milk is produced by animals fed a GMO-free diet.
