Regional cheese and cream stores Picardy

In addition to offering a few tables for lunch, Mealk is also a quality cheese shop. You can find the great classics: comté, emmental, goat's cheese but also more atypical ones such as those with flowers, saffron from the Somme bay or even seaweed. If you are lost or want to innovate, don't hesitate to ask the small, knowledgeable and smiling team for advice. The cheeses are selected with respect to the environment and local producers. It is possible to order cheese platters, nicely presented.

For decades, the Debras family has been raising goats and making delicious cheeses that can be found in various sales outlets in the region.

Every day, Julie Daddi gets up in the morning, pockets her order book from her website, and sets off to visit the local producers and craftsmen who supply her with fruit and vegetables, meat, charcuterie, dairy products, eggs, bread... (some fifteen suppliers in all). In the afternoon, she delivers to her customers' homes (Tuesday to Saturday), throughout the Lille area. It's a simple, effective concept that brings a bit of the countryside to the city, and guarantees customers fresh produce picked that very morning. The comprehensive site also features an organic grocery section. It's a simple and convincing way to work with local producers and artisans. Last but not least, the price: no more expensive than anywhere else!

Here, Claire Halleux makes maroilles fermier in the purest tradition: the raw milk used is that of the cows that graze peacefully around the farm, the cheese is prepared on the spot, then matured in the vaulted cellar with brick walls hidden under one of the buildings. Its maroilles "Mignon" was awarded the Silver Medal at the Concours Général Agricole in 2019: a guarantee of quality. Let yourself also be tempted by its other cheese specialties, you will not be disappointed.

Between Lumbres, Licques and Desvres, in the heart of a land rich in flavours, go and visit the Wint farm.

Everything comes from their orchard and dairy farm and everything has been organic since 1998! And for the gourmets, it is always good to know that the cider jelly is absolutely divine on pancakes... La ferme du Wint is part of the France Passion and Bienvenue à la ferme networks.

One of the most famous cheeses in France has been made here since 1925: the famous Maroilles. It was in Thiérache that Paul Fauquet created the cheese factory that still bears his name. Since then, the tradition has been perpetuated with generosity and authenticity. You will also find in the cheese shop: the vieux-lille, the Flamelon (the real maroilles pie), the maroilles cream (delicious!), etc. Lovers of strong tasting cheeses will be delighted. We wish you a very good tasting!

An address that smells of the countryside. In this typical Picardy farm, Disney, the donkey mascot, awaits you with his sidekicks: 100 Alpine goats, rabbits and chickens.

And there's plenty to choose from: fromage frais, goat's cheeses aged between 3 and 6 months, bicottins with chives, cider or honey. Alongside these cheeses, you'll also find goat's milk, goat's yoghurt and goat's faisselle.
