A true star in the world of cheeses, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, cheesemonger, consultant, and expert, François Robin has become a staple at the International Cheese and Dairy Products Fair. In this interview, he discusses what caséology represents, the art of tasting, analyzing, and "scientifically" recognizing the virtues of a cheese. What are the fundamental principles of caséology? How does it influence your perception of cheeses? "If I had to define what caséology is, I would say it is to cheese what oenology is to wines. It's the learned word for tasting, focusing one's senses on the qualities and, as professionals, also on the defects, the elements that need to be perfected in cheeses. There is a set of techniques, technological means in a given order to evaluate a cheese. So, yes, I think caséology influences perception.

The most emblematic – and probably the best-known – of the blue cheeses, roquefort, will be present at the Cheese and Dairy Products Show. A given, but also a recognition from cheese lovers around the world... It was in the heart of Aveyron that roquefort was born, the first French cheese to have received a designation of origin, in 1925. The story of this blue-veined cheese is closely linked to a terroir: the chalky Combalou mountain in Roquefort-sur-Soulzon, southeast of Rodez. It's one of the rare cheeses with a unique geographical location: the Roquefort caves. Formed naturally in the mountain by erosion and landslides, these caves, known as fleurines, are the sole and unique maturation sites for the cheese, where it must spend at least 14 days.Roquefort in the Spotlight at the Cheese and Dairy Products Show
