Coeur du Bray

Item #: 9009

This cheese comes from Neufchatel in the "Pays de Bray" which is situated in northern Normandie. It's has been a member of the AOC family since 1969.

The legend of this Heart-Shaped, soft-ripened cheese, tells that in the 100 Years War, the young maidens of Neufchatel-en-Bray offered this cheese to their gallant English conquerors. To the delight of the priests, they ate the cheese and thought they were in heaven, as the shape reminded them of angels wings.

The taste is mushroomy but delicate. The texture and taste is similar to its well known-cousin, Camembert. The rind is velvety white, its golden pate is firm but supple.
