It used to be called angelot and was offered as a gift. Sometimes called Fromage de Herve (cheese of Herve), it was stored fresh by Belgian merchants and sold in distant lands. Remoudou was present at the Leipzig and Frankfurt fairs in the 17th century, where it was traded by Herve men for Holstein cattle, and in Lorraine where the Herve merchants were called haverlings''.
