The house Marie Severac has its origins in the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes in Cantal en Mandailles. Located at the foot of Puy Mary and Puy Griou, it was born around a cheese: Salerac. It is the grandmother of the family, Marie Severac, who since the twentieth century made cheese. unique in the world, this method of manufacture is about to disappear!
"Since the dawn of time, my ancestors migrated in summer to the burons, in our mountains in the heart of the Auvergne volcanoes. At an altitude of over 1000 m, in the middle of these immense pastures, the herd of Salers cows grazed an exceptionally rich grass. Nicknamed the Belle Acajou, the very maternal Salers cow accepts to give milk only in the presence of her calf. Once collected, this milk with incomparable flavours was transported in a wooden freezer to be transformed into Cantal. "
It is the desire to contribute to the maintenance of this ancestral know-how that his great-grandson, Pierre Lantuejoul created and invented: the Salerac cheese.
