Regional cheese and cream stores Rodez

The Douls family has been producing for more than six generations numerous products such as charcuterie, foie gras and duck ham. Taken over by Mathieu Douls, you will find no less than 300 references of cheeses in this shop. Some of these treasures are matured by the owner, who will be happy to advise you on Roquefort, Rodez, Tomme des Raspes, Laguiole, Saint-Nictaire, Salers or Cantal. The place also offers a delicatessen section where you will find tripoux and other Aveyron specialities.

For a long time unknown and similar to Roquefort, the Bleu des Causses acquired its letters of nobility thanks to the obtaining of the PDO in 1996. If you have never tasted it, imagine an ivory paste with blue veins, a natural bloomy rind, a melting texture and a full-bodied taste. The Syndicat du Bleu des Causses does its utmost to promote this cheese which, despite everything, is produced at 700 tons each year. If you wish to taste it, find the list of cheese shops and other points of sale on the website of the union.

Grouped together for many years in a collective, under the impetus of Jeannine Massebiau, about fifty producers of ewe's milk, installed on Larzac and Lévézou, manage their own cheese dairy in La Cavalerie. On the spot, he transforms part of their milk - the other part is destined for the Roquefort industry - into cheeses with rather evocative names: the Artisous perail, the medallion, the Larzac galette, the Ch'ti aveyronnais, the tomme fleurie, yoghurts and the pitchotte. Les Artisous also offer a flaune, which bears the name of Jeannine.
