An artist at refining
Rodolphe Le Meunier's cheese dairy is located 30 km from Tours. It's here, in his maturing cellars - which in this case are more like cold rooms - that hundreds of specialties wait patiently to be shipped. They will be sent to the boutique at Les Halles de Tours, to restaurants, sales outlets and supermarkets in France, and to a multitude of countries, including Saudi Arabia, Korea, Japan, the United States... Rodolphe Le Meunier is a cheesemaker and refiner with a MOF title, and an outspoken businessman who debunks preconceived ideas.
