- Goat Cheese : Yes, we are finally getting around to talking about it! Goat’s cheese is part of life here. You can find it in many of the usual forms, such as mild or mature, but have you heard of Banon cheese? It has AOP* status (*local, sustainable, state-certified food-producing area) that stretches from Banon to Quinson. It is left to mature in sweet chestnut leaves. A real delicacy!
- Les Pieds Paquets : Yes, it’s true. Not everyone would agree, but you can’t get a more local dish than this! There are numerous sheep farms in the area (with one just up the road from the campsite). We love this dish! But what exactly is it? ‘Les paquets’ refers to mutton tripe and ‘les pieds’ are, let’s not beat around the bush, sheep’s trotters. They are mixed together and stewed in a tomato sauce with olive oil and Herbes de Provence. You guessed… nothing is wasted!
We hope you like our Provencal specialities. This is of course only a small extract of our delicious regional products from Provence, which is a large territory. There are also, if you enlarge the area: pissaladière, bouillabaisse, provencal stuffed food, tapenade…
