History

The pavé d'Auge is an old variation of the Pont-L'Evêque,and it is nowadays a generic name used for the washed rind square cheeses that are produced in the north of theAuge country.

It can also be called "pavé de Moyaux" (the name of a country side), "pavé du Plessis" (the name of a dairy),or "Trouville" (the name of a small town by the sea).

Its making is close to the Pont-L'Evêque one and it generally goes through a long maturing period (2 to 4 months) and its taste is rather strong.
