France. The Last Trappist Monks Cheese
Description
Trappist Monks from the order of Cisterian have been responsible for producing some of the most famous washed rind cheeses in France. These days, the rapidly dwindling number of monks, threatens cheese-making in monasteries with extinction. Will Studd travels to the abbey of Mont des Cats in Normandy, Citeaux in Burgundy, and Tamie in Savoy to discover how these cheeses are being made and what the future holds for these classic benchmarks.
