Produced in the Pays de Bray, it is the oldest cheese in Normandy. The soft cheese with noble mold rind produced using lactic acid bacteria can be offered as briquette (rectangular), bonde (frustum-shaped), square of 100 g, double bond or in heart shape of 200 g or 600 g. It is particularly appreciated for its white, somewhat fluffy-looking rind and slightly salty, smooth paste with a wonderfully sour taste.
Neufchâtel has been marked with the European seal AOP (Protected Designation of Origin) since 1969.
The red European AOP seal (appellation d'origine protégée = "protected designation of origin") guarantees the consumer that all production stages take place exclusively in the defined geographical area of the designation, from the production of the milk to the maturing of the cheese.
In France, 45 types of cheese, 3 types of butter and 2 types of cream are labeled with the European seal "AOP".
