点评:A real gem of a place. Some interactive explanations about the history/region/animals, a video about the milk, some more interactive displays about production/hygiene and then a wander down a corridor so you can peep through windows into different steps of the production. All topped off with a tasting! Just lovely. The lady who greeted us and offered the tasting was delightful and very helpful, answering our questions. An hour well spent!
A note for the Brits, there is no English language provision on the self-guided visit. This didn’t bother us at all, but it may bother those with no French understanding!
Also, to be clear, they do not make the soft, strong Maroilles cheese here. This factory makes some of the (much tastier IMO!!) northern hard cheeses. I can imagine they get quite a lot of people confused by this being a cheese factory in Maroilles 😂
Utterly glorious place. Highly recommend. Buy a slice of everything! I’ll be back just to buy cheese directly.
翻译:一个真正值得一游的好地方。这里有一些关于历史、地区及动物的互动式讲解;还有一段关于牛奶制作的视频;另外还有一些关于生产流程与卫生措施的互动展示。随后还能沿着走廊漫步,透过窗户窥见牛奶生产的各个环节。最后还有品鉴环节!实在太棒了。接待我们并安排品鉴的那位女士非常友善且热心,还耐心解答了我们的疑问。这一个小时过得真愉快!
给英国游客的一点小贴士:关于自助参观的说明中并没有提供英文版本。这一点对我们来说完全没问题,但对于那些不懂法语的人来说可能会有些困扰!
另外需要澄清的是,这家工厂并不生产那种软质且味道浓郁的马鲁瓦奶酪。他们生产的是一些产自法国北部的硬质奶酪(在我看来这些奶酪要好吃得多!!)。可以想象,由于这里是马鲁瓦地区的奶酪工厂,肯定有不少人会产生误解吧 😂
绝对是个棒极了的地方,强烈推荐!建议把各种奶酪都买一点尝尝吧!我待会儿就回来,专门去买奶酪。
