  • 1. Apples and Pears

    Normandy’s fertile soil supports countless varieties, used widely in cooking, and for cider, Calvados and sparkling poiré .

  • 2. Vegetables

    Manche is renowned for its superb carrots, parsley, leeks, radishes and shallots.

  • 3. Dairy Products

    The rich milk produced by Norman cattle makes velvety cream, butter (beurre d’Isigny is highly prized), and products ranging from Petit-Suisse cream cheese to confiture de lait , literally, “milk jam”.

  • 4. Cheese

    Four great soft cheeses – Camembert, Pont l’Evêque, Neufchâtel and Livarot – star on the Norman cheese board.

  • 5. Agneau de pré-salé

    Lamb raised on the salt marshes around Mont-St-Michel has a deliciously delicate flavour.

  • 6. Boudin noir

    Black pudding is the speciality of Mortagne-au-Perche (see Foire au Boudin, Mortagne-au-Perche).

  • 7. Andouille

    Equally highly prized is the black tripe sausage produced in Vire.

  • 8. Fish

    The Atlantic waters yield superb fish, supreme among which is the Dover sole.

  • 9. Oysters

    Norman oysters come from beds in one of three crus , or areas: Côte Ouest, St-Vaast-la-Hougue and Isigny.

  • 10. Pork

    Pale-fleshed Norman pork is highly prized, particularly porc de Bayeux .
