The cheese of Banon

On the Lure moutain sides, the flocks of goats benefit the best conditions to give the breeders the chance to offer us a nice variety of cheeses. 

The administrative center of Revest des Brousses gave its name to the most famous of these cheeses from Provence.  
Its tomes get dry covered with scrubland savory leaves and laced with marc eau de vie . Then they are folded and served inside chesnut leaves. 

The fête du fromage (Cheese Feast), every  July, is an event not to miss if you are around there at that time.
