Under the Mediterranean Sun

Southern France—from the Pyrenees to Provence, from Languedoc to the Riviera—produces cheeses that reflect the warmth, herbs, and ancient traditions of the Mediterranean world. Here, sheep and goats have thrived for millennia on aromatic garrigue scrubland, while water buffalo and other innovations point to the future. This is a land where Roman ruins neighbor modern cities, where traditional shepherds share hillsides with tech entrepreneurs, and where cheese reflects this beautiful complexity.
