Le Gaslonde is the house label of Fromagerie Réo, a dairy that has made cheese and butter in Lessay, a small town on the Cotentin peninsula of Normandy, since 1931. Best known for its Camembert de Normandie, Réo gathers its milk from about forty-six farms within thirty kilometers of the dairy, much of it from the region’s traditional Normande cows grazing on rich coastal pasture. Today it is part of Maîtres Laitiers du Cotentin, a Normandy dairy cooperative, and still runs as its own dairy with its own farmers. In Normandy, beurre de baratte means butter made the traditional way, churned from cream that has been cultured and left to ripen slowly, which gives it a deeper, gently tangy flavor. Gaslonde’s is churned, shaped by hand and lightly salted in the demi-sel style. This croquant version, as its name says, is scattered with crunchy salt crystals that crackle against the soft, creamy butter. It’s wonderful spread thickly on a fresh baguette, with radishes, or melted over vegetables, a classic of the Normandy dairy table.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
