The cheese product of Papillon Roquefort since 1906. When you arrive on Roquefort Soulzon, you understand very quickly that the main activity here is the cellar tour and tasting cheese . Having already visited the cellars of Roquefort Société, I opted this time for the cellars of Roquefort Papillon. It must be said that for the latter, the visit is free. Furthermore, their logo attracts the eye of the butterfly nicely with Roquefort.
During the visit, which is to descend into the basement, watching the wooden shelves, head down, watch out for slippery steps, follow the evil eye's comments guide our young and pretty, blonde, straight hair, standing on the tiptoe to better talk with his southern accent, it exposes us to different kinds of cheese Roquefort.
Taste the Black, the most vigorous and most typical, because most mature in the cellar,
The Organics, who meets the criteria of organic farming ,
The Revelation, thinner, creamier, which will appeal more to those who do not like castling strong!
The Red Butterfly , more standard features than you find in supermarkets.
A question emerges in the audience: "But why is there a bio roquefort roquefort since it is in AOC so this is already without pesticides and products like that? "
Our young and slender guide to answer, a little confused: "The bio madam ... well ... this is that there are other rules ... you see ... the sheep can not be treated since it can not use certain drugs. "
And the Lady said to her neighbor: "good, then the difference in fact it's just the drugs. It's just that the bio! "
Well no madam, the Designation of Origin does not guarantee that the product is derived from the organic farming .
Quick reminder on the AOC and the AB label (information found on the website of the formagerie Butterfly) "
The AOC allows, under the control of the French State, to ensure and recognize a few high quality products related to a soil. In the family dairy, only a limited number of cheeses, butters and creams match this name, here, the cheese of Roquefort AOC is the oldest. It falls into the category of soft cheeses.
Confederation of Milk Producers of sheep and industrial manufacturers Cheese Roquefort guarantees, by this label, compliance with all requirements of the AOC, it represents the highest authority of the profession, quality control, selects dairy herds and is involved in promoting the cheese Roquefort.
Regarding the AB label ( Agriculture Biologique ):
In organic livestock, animals have sufficient space and access to outside areas. They are fed with organic food, largely from the operation. If necessary, priority is given to alternative medicine. The AB logo guarantees that the food contains at least 95% ingredients from the organic farming . The organic farming is at the heart of sustainable development, it is part of a world of modern life and is committed to the welfare of future generations. Strict controls are carried out by the French Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
Roquefort is especially delectable with Maury , Banyuls or Muscat de Rivesaltes .

Good morning. I bought and used one of your products: the Beaujolais Nouveau 2010. This is it you? No matter anyway because I only have to regret having bought this thing (thankfully only one bottle!), This slop that has no taste of Beaujolais in name only. If that's the culture Bio I'm just confusing to have to tell you that it's not worth a damn ... Avoid it.
