French cheese and charcuterie specialists
Run by the Le Blais brothers, who are originally from the Pays d’Auge area of Normandy, Une Normande a Londres sources cheeses from suppliers all over France. Offerings range from familiar favourites such as camembert de Normandie and brie de Meaux, to the more obscure tête de moine and Sainte Maure de Touraine. Many of the stall’s products, which also include a plethora of cured meats, are regional specialities that have been granted protected AOC status.
