The TRADITION series from FORGE DE LAGUIOLE is characterized by a forged bee with just such a spring. Originally, this narrow shape with folding mechanism comes from Spain. Because at the same time in Aubrac, people were still using non-folding work aids that had to be carried awkwardly in the waistband of a belt. But people returning from abroad brought the novelty back to France, where the blacksmith Pierre-Jean Calmels optimized the clasp. On the spring, also called "Ressort", the little bee has taken a seat, so that it always has the blade in view. One of the best Roquefort cheeses is called Roquefort CAVES BARAGNAUDES. In the caverns of the pyramids, the cheeses are stored on oak shelves for at least three months and sometimes almost a year. The underground cavities, limestone caves in the Cambalou massif, were created by earthquakes. The handle scales were cut from this up to one hundred years old wood of the Société Roquefort.
The origin of the noble blue mold is due to a coincidence. A hungry shepherd had placed his bread with sheep's cheese ready for consumption in one of the caves when a maiden crossed his eye. Forgetting his hunger for her beauty, he gave in to the appetite for other pleasures. Meanwhile, the bread went moldy, as did the cheese. When the herdsman returned days later, blue-green veins ran through the cheese. His growling stomach drove him to taste it anyway. This is what happened 2000 years ago. Until the 15th century, "Fromage des Rois" was reserved for monarchs. Charlemagne realized: Such a cheese! and gave up the privilege on it in favor of his people. The BARAGNAUDES variety remains the longest in the naturally ventilated refinement cellars, with a ripening period of eight months. Whether in the 20th century the Résistance chose this area as a central refuge because of the wonderful Roquefort cheese?
