Normandy is home to a number of exquisite delicacies made from fine ingredients produced locally.  As you would expect of a region with such an extensive coastline, Normandy provides an impressive array of freshly caught seafood.  Dairy herds graze on the lush green countryside, perfect for producing the rich cream found in so many of the dishes and cheeses.  Normandy produces an amazing amount of full-bodied cheeses including the favorites such as Camembert, Liverot and Pont l’Evêque.

Apples are a familiar site of the countryside and are the main ingredient for many regional specialties such as Tarte aux pomme (apple tart), Tart Normande (apple pie), Gratin de pommes vallée (apple crumble with fruit soaked in Calvados brandy and baked in crème fraiche and most popular of all, the Calvados cider and brandy.  A commonly used aperitif!

You can be sure to enjoy a whole host of gastronomic delights when you visit Normandy.
