Good pasta, soft or hard, opaque or shiny, generous or medium, they are most often savored in the middle, between the pear and the cheese. Besides, don't we say that a meal without cheese leaves something unfinished, an interrupted development that lacks a part of maturity? Brillat-Savarin himself spoke of "a meal without cheese like a beauty missing an eye". Heresy? Certainly ! This is why, as "ferment" followers that we are, we invite you to a cheese "round".

All you have to do is talk about Munster, Reblochon, Époisses, Fourme d'Ambert for this sweet poetry of names to make you feel their subtle aroma. Whether they come from French, Italian, Dutch, Irish or Swiss terroirs, cheeses seduce the palates of the French who consume them at least once a day. To help the most recalcitrant to refine their palate, and to awaken those of gourmet gourmets, round table of the favorite cheeses of the French. Cheeeese!
