LA FROMAGERIE D'ANNABELLE
Not easy to find if you’re not careful. La Fromagerie d’Annabelle is tucked away down the street. The store’s window is as tempting as the cheese is good. Yum! The aroma of cheese immediately tells you that maturing is everywhere here! Annabelle, who works with her sister, fell in love with cream (fresh) and cheese (raw milk) during her apprenticeship with a leading Parisian cheesemaker and at the markets. She knows what she’s talking about, and she’s in love with it. Who’d have thought it? Her store is probably the first cheese shop in Pont-l’Evêque. What a feat! Cheese is like fruit: it has its seasons and can’t be at its best at any time of year. That’s why she makes her trays according to their origin and maturation. Each week has its own selection. The princes of Normandy rub shoulders with their cousins from the North, Centre, East and South. This is an address that smacks of sincerity, simplicity and good produce.
