Savour the flavours

Savoie, France

Enjoy some online cheese tourism via raw-milk cheese specialist Mons Cheesemongers’ short films (vimeo.com/monscheesemongers). Focussing on artisan cheese-makers in France and Switzerland, the films take you through the process, from cow to cave. Let jangling cowbells transport you to the Vanoise National Park, in the Savoie, where Catherine Richard produces Bleu de Termignon cheese by hand after milking her cows in a 400-year-old parlour. For the full experience order some cheeses from Mons’ online shop and graze while you watch (mons-cheese.co.uk; availability of small-batch cheeses is seasonal).
