Coeur de Neufchâtel (AOC)

Neufchâtel is a soft, slightly crumbly, mould-ripened cheese made in the region of Normandy . One of the oldest cheeses in France, its production is believed to date back to the 6th Century.

The legend explains that the heart shape is due to the young Norman women that wanted to express discreetly their feelings to the English soldiers during the wars in the Middle Age .

The white mouldy crust gives a distinct mouldy smell and it is traditionally eaten with crusty bread. Because of its shape, it enriches any cheese board visually, and is also the perfect selection for special events such as Valentine's day or Mother's day.
