Country

In the South of France, not far from the Mediterranean, lies the Roquefort cheese country.

"Lacaune" sheep are the only ones to produce milk for for Roquefort cheese. The maturing zone was set out in 1961. It covers an area of two kilometres in length and 300 metres in width, its caves are located within the walls of the village of Roquefort itself; in the heart of this zone is where the maturing caves of the Papillon Dairies are.

Roquefort cheese country, is first and foremost a French village: Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. Backing onto the Combalou, the village hides a treasury in its soil. the natural caves formed in the rock and inhabited by men are real underground cathedrals.
