Cœur de Neufchâtel AOP is one of France’s oldest recorded cheeses, produced in Normandy and traditionally molded into its iconic heart shape. Crafted from cow’s milk and protected under the Appellation d’Origine Protégée (AOP), this historic bloomy-rind cheese is renowned for its fine grain, delicate lactic character, and gentle tang.

When young, Cœur de Neufchâtel offers fresh, milky flavors with a light acidity. With maturation, it develops deeper notes of mushroom, butter, and cellar earth, while retaining a balanced, savory finish. Its heart-shaped form has long symbolized affection and celebration, making it a classic centerpiece for cheese boards and special occasions.

Serve at room temperature to fully express its aroma and texture. Pair with crusty baguette, apples, walnuts, or a drizzle of honey. Excellent with Normandy cider, Champagne, Chenin Blanc, or a light Pinot Noir.
