SMALL MATURING CELLAR OF FORT SAINT-ANTOINE
Go there and contact
The Petite du fort Saint-Antoine maturing cellar, under 6 m high galleries, offers a visit with cheese tasting.
The county is a tradition in Franche-Comté, what I say… it is an institution. For centuries, this cheese has been slowly ageing, at the rhythm of the seasons in the refining cellars. But a nice day of 1966, Marcel Petite had the idea of using Fort Saint-Antoine that had been abandoned for a long time. However, temperature and humidity did not necessarily correspond to the usual standards of cheese ageing, and you will tell its critics. Let's do it, he answered the cheese. We're going to try it! Under 6 m high-height galleries, more than 60 000 county grinding are slowly refining, very slowly, twenty-four months for the best of them. So if you want to know everything about this extraordinary cellar and its cheese, come and visit! The final tasting will make you without shadow of doubt become a real specialist in the county. Council: Don't forget your little wool. Note that smells are especially… present, but we get used to it and it is probably the price to pay for visiting such a cellar! Visit by about 1 h 30.
