Today is la Journée National du Fromage.
I expected a grand tasting event at les Halles in Narbonne, maybe a little parade or perhaps even a young woman crowned la Reine du Fromage. (hey, why not?)
Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that the closest fromager celebrating the event is in Toulouse, an hour and a half away!
Nothing in Narbonne, Béziers, Perpignan or even Montpellier!
So, we're celebrating on our own.
What did you do to fête le fromage?

Enjoy the tart - it counts. :)

Yeah Benji! That husband of yours is definitely a keeper.
I hope you picked up some good fromage in Narbonne!
Hi Loulou,
I posted my entry about le fete du fromage last night. We tried two new goat's milk cheeses: a mold-ripened triple cream, and a Cheddar. They are both artisan American cheeses; they were the ones that called out to me! Thanks for the invite to participate.
danielle,
I love that they're making more cheese like that in America. It is so promising!
You wrote a wonderful cheese post. Thanks for the mention!
