Gourmet products local specialties and wines Neussargues In Pinatelle

The smell of warm sourdough bread baked over a wood fire wafts through the streets of Chalinargues. You're not dreaming: it's David and Thomas baking their organic batch of the day over a wood fire! Zinzette, blésir sésame or pavot or auvernoix are prepared with local Auvergne flours, most of them stone-ground and additive-free. The store opens on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5pm to 6.30pm, to the delight of gourmets. La Mie Chamalou can be found at the Saint-Flour market on Saturday mornings.

The Charrade family business specialises in the maturing of cantal, salers and saint-nectaire cheese.

The concept of the Cave de Marcel is to discover the art of cheese in a wooden atmosphere in the heart of the volcanoes. The visitor can admire, behind the windows, the cantal and the saint-nectaire, of which one can imagine all the flavours. All you have to do is taste and at the shop you can choose from a wide range of cheeses, including of course the Auvergne PDO cheeses. Various Cantal products are also on offer: charcuterie, lentils, beer, honey, wines... Why not take the opportunity to have lunch on the spot with a choice of sandwiches or regional dishes?
