alt_route Banon and its local products
The natural conditions of this region (climate, soils, vegetation) are ideal for the development of a pastoral activity based on small herds of goats raised in freedom.
In the land of lavender, thyme, savory and rosemary, they find their nourishment on sunny pastures and meadows. Tomme wrapped in its chestnut leaf produced in the village of Banon, crossroads of important communication routes and place of fairs and markets, is famous throughout the department!

Banon cheese vine leaf
Banon cheese has long been hidden behind a vine leaf. As the phylloxera epidemic cut short this supply, it has set its sights on chestnut leaves. These leaves are collected in autumn from the trees so that they are neither too dry nor too wet, ideally between 11am and 14pm! No improvisation!
To wrap this little cheese, you need up to 6 or 7 leaves, softened in vinegar water, soaked in brandy and tied with raffia.
