His selection spans a variety of regions and styles, each offering a unique glimpse into the richness of French dairy culture.

What made Antony’s presence at the festival even more captivating was his engaging personality. Speaking with him, I found a deep well of knowledge, not only about cheese production but about the stories behind each product.
