Fromage Salat Tradition - Terroirs de gueuletons


One final pre-Christmas trip with our favourite Bons Vivants Arthur and Vincent, as they visit the Cantal region of central France, meet some Cows, and learn all about the making of the delicious 'Salers' cheese.

'Salers' is a mature, farmhouse, version of Cantal cheese; almost as good as a mature Cheddar.

These are really wonderful videos. Thank you!

This will be the last one for a while. I think they're great fun (and informative).

I like those videos, I shall look for more.

Cro Magnon said...

They are so typical of life here; any excuse for an impromptu meal, is always grabbed!

It's nice to see the cows in the fields eating real grass. Not a sight to be taken for granted in this globalist monoculture age.

Cantal entre-deux was one of our favourite French cheeses.

Cro Magnon said...

Nice to see them being used as chairs too.

The 'entre-deux' is our everyday favourite cheese, but when we can afford it, we buy the Salers.

Thank you! These videos are wonderful. I am not a French speaker, but I don't need to be for enjoyment of these videos. The background scenery isn't to be overlooked. Beautiful!

Good cheese, good wine, good food, delightful company! C'est la vie!

I put them here because they show life as it really is... not touristy, or pictures of perfect life. Just a couple of down to earth local boys enjoying themselves.

I love French cheese. As to Mature Cheddar Cro - I love it too but only very specialist cheese shops sell the real thing these days - most so called 'Mature' cheddar is nothing but a pale imitation.

They look like they are having very pleasant lives. I see no stress. What lucky fellas they are.

Cro Magnon said...

That's what it's all about, and, of course, is why we live here!

Cro Magnon said...

The 'Salers' cheese is very good. It is always made on the farm, and there are very few producers. It is NEVER a commercial factory-made cheese. It's also quite expensive.

Cro Magnon said...

I know what you mean, but when you find it, it's wonderful. Salers is always good, as it is a strictly 'farmhouse' cheese.

Cro Magnon said...

And proud to be so!

A beret, a 2CV, and a love of good food and wine; what more do you want!
