Gastronomy – Nutritional qualities and recipes

Gastronomy

Le Maréchal’s nutritional qualities are comparable with other firm cheeses. Rich in calcium, it contains the indispensable proteins for healthy bones. The fact that the cows’ diet is supplemented with flaxseed flour also means that Omega-3 fatty acids find their way into the cheese.

Recipes

Although Le Maréchal is brilliant company at the finest tables, it never disowns its humble origins and loves the convivial atmosphere of family meals. It feels just right in any situation, and gives in to temptation just as naturally up in the mountains on a picnic napkin as on an embroidered dinner-party tablecloth. It reveals its full flavour savoured quite simply with some figs or olives and, to bring out all its charms, why not try it with a glass of delicious white Chasselas wine.

Simple, easy and so good !
