02140 - HAUTION

Find out all about Maroilles cheese on this Thiérache dairy. Fontaine Orion farm at Haution has a herd of some 90 dairy cows, Holstein and Flemish, the latter being world champion milkers! Claire Halleux, a farmer and Maroilles cheese maker, is in charge of the dairy. As she explains to visitors, it takes 3 months, from milking to maturing in the cellar, to make this delicious local cheese. A fascinating chance to experience the world of northern French cheeses! Group visits by prior arrangement. Tasting and sale of cheese on-site. Nearby: the Fortified Churches tourist route.
