In June, the Musée du Fromage, or ‘living cheese museum’, was opened in Paris, a museum dedicated to cheese, mostly French, with tastings, a shop and live cheese production, focusing on the history, production process and the places and landscapes linked to the products.

The image shows a group of people in a modern kitchen setting with exposed stone walls. A chef, dressed in a dark uniform, stands at a wooden table, explaining something to the participants. There are three people visible at the table, including a woman with curly hair and a red blouse. Other participants are standing, observing and holding devices, such as a microphone. The table has several glass covers over dishes, suggesting a cooking demonstration.

The project, which was created by cheesemaker Pierre Brisson, is located in the space of a former restaurant in a 17th-century building in the 4th arrondissement, on Île Saint-Louis, near Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Divided into four parts, the visit consists of a tour of the product’s processes, starting with the cheese culture. The second part covers its history, followed by a live production by a cheesemaker. The visit ends with a tasting.

In addition to the museum, the space also has an area dedicated to courses, a cellar for cheese-making workshops and a store with wines, beers and juices.

Tickets are available at prices of €20 (around R$121) for adults, €17 for teenagers aged 12 to 17 and students, and children aged 5 to 11 pay €13 (R$78).
