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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
These are really wonderful videos. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis will be the last one for a while. I think they're great fun (and informative).
DeleteI like those videos, I shall look for more.
ReplyDeleteThey are so typical of life here; any excuse for an impromptu meal, is always grabbed!
DeleteIt'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.
ReplyDeleteNice to see them being used as chairs too.
DeleteCantal entre-deux was one of our favourite French cheeses.
ReplyDeleteThe 'entre-deux' is our everyday favourite cheese, but when we can afford it, we buy the Salers.

DeleteGood cheese, good wine, good food, delightful company! C'est la vie!
ReplyDeleteThat's what it's all about, and, of course, is why we live here!
DeleteWonderful Video ! I do not speak French but it didn't matter so much love and excitement ! Now I want some cheese

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, but when you find it, it's wonderful. Salers is always good, as it is a strictly 'farmhouse' cheese.
DeleteCheese-eating surrender monkeys.
ReplyDeleteAnd proud to be so!
DeleteThey look like they are having very pleasant lives. I see no stress. What lucky fellas they are.
ReplyDeleteA beret, a 2CV, and a love of good food and wine; what more do you want!
