Roves de garrigues, Pélardon, Banon, Epoisses, Tommette de Lozère, Livarot, Trois cornes d'Aunis, Pigouille, Roquefort, Camembert affiné au Calvados...

Julie raises her small herd with a lot of attention. This is the first thing you understand when you go to her farm to buy her cheeses, yoghurts or brousse. The fresh cheese is plain or flavoured with shallots, cumin, savory or rose petals. Depending on the season, she also offers Alsatian, Italian (tomato, oregano) Christmas (cinnamon, ginger and sesame seeds) and vegetable (leeks, carrots, shallots, onions) flavours.
