This famous cheese from northern France was born in the 7th century, in the village of… Maroilles, which once housed a very important abbey.
An ordinance summoned the peasants of the region, on Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (June 24) to transform the milk from their herds into cheese and bring it to the monks on Saint-Rémy Day, 100 days later!
Because the secret of Maroilles is its long maturing: at least 3 months.
