Family outings in Roquefort country

A picnic at the Roquefort orientation table or a good table, the choice is yours!
We recommend the Epicerie Del Païs in Saint-Affrique, the cellar stores, the bakery L’Espigal de Lauras.

To see and learn all about this internationally renowned cheese, take a few steps underground into the Combalou scree, discover the mysteries of the fleurines and the secrets of the ripeners. Discover the origins of the formation of the Société caves through a 3D projection then walk in front of these cracks, called fleurines and feel their natural breath that ventilates the caves.

Take to the trails of the Causses to discover the brebis Lacaune. From milking to the transformation of milk into cheese, a film retraces for you every stage in the making of Roquefort AOP Société. Enter the heart of the Société cellars, where stone and wood are used to transform the cheese loaves into Roquefort AOP. The breads are matured under the watchful eye of the Maître Affineur Société.

The tour is coming to an end. Your guide invites you to discover and taste the three Société PDO Roqueforts. Finally, an exhibition room will enable you to relive the 160-year history of Société.

And to finish off after this hour which has enabled you to learn more about the Roquefort manufacturing process, head over to the nearby orientation table to admire the magnificent view over the Larzac causse and the village.
