History

Specifications

It is the grandfather of all cheese, and it was born in the Cantal, in Auvergne, more than 2,000 years ago. This is a region with rich pastures which produces high quality milk.

In his eleventh book of Natural History, Pline the Elder says, "The cheese of the land of Arvernes and Gevaudan are very popular in Rome for their good quality." This could lead us to assume that the cheese he refers to is an ancestor of our excellent fourmes of Auvergne.
