Cheese Fair: odours and flavours
Every year at the same period (1st Weekend of August), the traditional Cheese Fair takes place in Livarot.
This
Celebration of the products of the soil is articulated around stands where producers
coming from many French regions propose their agricultural products (wine, cider, cheese,
sausage…) identified with a region or a small village.
You can notice as well the presence of many gastronomy’s brotherhoods which are the guarantee of the authenticity of the products.
David
Martin, invited on the Fair this year, was introduced in the Order of the Brotherhood of
the Livarot’s Knights, with the mission to introduce the Livarot in his “cuisine”.
This
year, the 14th edition of the Cheese Fair was, as usually, a big success, draining during
the two days a crowd of visitors enjoying the animations.
Competition
of the most beautiful Norman cow, auction of young cows, tasting of the products of the
soil, march of the Brotherhoods, cycle race, fanfare, competition of the biggest eater of
Livarot cheese, gastronomy with the realisation of the first Livarot pie, fireworks and
ball, everything was combined to satisfy all the visitors.
