Well-known French cheeses are threatened

do you Love the large cheese platter with delightful cheeses from France?

So enjoy it now. For something suggests that the global warming is threatening the production of some of France's most famous cheeses.

the Producers of the cheeses tells The Telegrah, that the cows no longer can be fed with sufficiently large amounts of fresh, green grass, as is required according to the rules of osteproduktionen.

the Long drought in France in the summer of 2019 has made it necessary to feed the cows with dried hay instead of grass on the fields.

Among the first to sound the alarm are the producers of Bleu d'Auvergne, Fourme d'Ambert and Montbrison, Époisses and Laguiole cheese. But more are expected to follow.

In July 2019 had osteproducenterne deneme bonusu in the Livradois-Forez, the Auvergne, not seen rain in nine months and was therefore going to have to feed the cattle with hay.

- We will have to adapt to these very special episodes of prolonged drought and heavy rains. They complicate life on our farms.

the Producers are now considering to grow among other alfalfa in the period in which the cows grazing on the fields.
