Our Rocaillou des Cabasses
In 1982, Jean-François and Rosine Dombre decided to buy some lands situated in the heart of the Causses that were abandoned since the first world war. They established their farm and choose to use the name of « Cabasses » in reference to these seedlings that will regenerate an old chestnut so it never dies. All their cheeses are made from raw sheep milk and Pérail is their flagship product. Today Jean-François and his daughter struggle for the recognition Pérail as AOC since he is the president of the Pérail Association.

This exceptional cheese is made from the milk of « Tête Noire » Manech sheeps, native sheeps from the Basque country. These sheeps are raised mainly for the quality milk they produce in large quantities, and which is used to make particular produces like Ossau-Iraty, another typical cheese of this region.
