Livarot was probably born in the late Middle Ages, the heart of Normandy. It was a farmhouse cheese, little different from Camembert and Pont-bishop. We then designated all cheese down Norman under the same name : the "Angels.'' This name evolved into "Augelot" term marking the geographical origin of these cheeses, the Pays d'Auge.
