The Isigny region, once an expansive wetland in the sixteenth century until the sea withdrew, is now characterized by a clay soil enriched with alluvial sediments, fostering lush green grass. This unique landscape has been a boon for the region's dairy farmers, who have cultivated exceptionally fine milk for centuries, establishing a renowned reputation for quality. The distinctive climate of the area, influenced by the salty seawater of the Channel and the fresh water from the Cotentin peninsula and Bessin marshes, is mild and damp. Grazing on these nutrient-rich pastures, the cows in the region produce milk that is exceptionally rich in mineral salts and trace elements, contributing to the exceptional quality and flavor of the dairy products originating from the Isigny region.
