Norman cuisine The coastline provides an abundance of fresh seafood, the pastures are ideal grazing for dairy herds and cattle and the apple orchards give delicious fruit that is used to make a variety of ciders and Calvados. Normandy cuisine has an identity with its own favourite ingredients : apples, cider, cream and butter.
Dairy products- Butter is known by “crus”, just like wines and champagnes. Isigny is particularly renowned for its butter and cream production. - Cheese. Three of the best known are Camembert, Pont l’êvèque and Livarot. Meat- Veal and beef. - Pré-salé lamb is a particular speciality of the western Manche coast. For example, you can see sheep on the salt marshes of the Mont Saint-Michel Bay area. The meat is tender, with a distinct taste.
