The Livarot fair is held every first week-end of August. Livarot is the limelight with many other regional cheeses and products from this amazing region.
Perfect drink matches: An AOC cider from Pays-d’Auge, a Calvados or a Rum from Martinique


Livarot (PDO)
Livarot, from the Auge region, is a semi-soft cheese with a striking, yet sandy, bright red-orange washed rind. Known in the 19th century as ‘the poor people’s meat’, it is a cheese with character, a strong aroma and a powerful taste, evocative of smoked meats. It is nicknamed the ‘Colonel’ because of the five raffia strips that surround it and prevent the cheese from sinking. The raffia is made from reeds harvested in the surrounding lagoons, which are bundled into sheaves and dried.
