Step 2 – Roquefort cellars

To see and know everything about this cheese of international renown, go down a few steps underground, within the Combalou scree, to discover the mysteries of the “fleurines” and the cheese maturers’ secrets. Discover the origin of the Roquefort Société Cellars formation with a 3D projection, then move on in front of those fissures, called “fleurines” and feel the natural breeze that ventilates the cellars.

Go off to discover the Lacaune ewes on the Causses path. From the milking to the transformation of the milk into cheese, a movie recounts every step of the Roquefort AOP Société production. Go inside Société Cellars in which takes place the transformation of cheese loaves into Roquefort AOP through contact with stone and woods. The loaves’ aging happens under the watchful and wise eye of Société master cheese ripener.

The visit is reaching its end. Your guide offers you to discover and taste the three different Roquefort AOP Société. Finally, a showroom lets you relive the Société 160-years history.
