What are the 3 Norman treasures? Cheese, Cider and the famous apple brandy 'Calvados' Cider, a local product, a drink rooted in Norman traditions, the cider is synonymous with pleasure and conviviality. In the fields and at the table, it has long been the daily life of farms. Hence the link to the authenticity and simplicity that it has preserved. The Calvados, noble and refined alcohol, the secrets of elaborations of the Calvados are transmitted from generation to generation since the sixteenth century in Normandy. It is not just 'Eau-de-vie', Calvados has been the emblem of Norman culture for more than five centuries and embodies in itself all the richness and complexity of this beautiful countryside called Le Pays d'Auge. The 4 Norman cheeses bear the name of the villages where they were born. The villages of Camembert, Livarot and Pont L'Evêque form the golden triangle of the cheese kingdom, Neufchâtel being far from this triangle. Let's go on the road of Norman gastronomy to discover their Secrets!
• Departing from Caen, we will leave in the morning to discover and taste the Norman cheeses by visiting 2 creameries: the first one is modern the second one is very artisanal. • We will go to the village of Livarot and follow in the footsteps of Marie Harel who invented the famous Camembert at the end of the 18th century • I will have the pleasure to serve a local seasonal picnic on my great grand mother's plate on a well-dressed table with a french baguette 'Tradition' bought on our way • In the afternoon, I will serve you Normandy in bottle! You will visit two very different cideries/distilleries. Cider Farm, organic, sweet or brut; young Calvados or Calvados Hors d'âge, Pommeau de Normandie as an aperitive or Apple juice, let's meet some farmers to discover the secrets of authentic cideries and distilleries. They will enjoy to share with you some tastings. . . •On the way back we'll go through one cute town Additional information: I can customize this tour according to your wishes. Just let me know.
