Composition

Terroir - the dictionary defines it as soil or land, and that is true, but it is more than that. In France, the idea of terroir is often connected to grapes and producing wine but cheeses and cured meats, spirits and even some vegetable and fruit crops are linked to the idea too. Because terroir is the soil, yes, that feeds the production of a food, but also the weather of a place, the traditions of the farmers, the spirit of the land in a place that produces something that would be a little bit different if produced anywhere else. And they protect that idea through a pride in artisanal products and skills as well as certifications called "appellations" that designate the use of certain names for only products made following the traditional method or in the traditional place. Roquefort cheese, for example, can only be called such if produced in Roquefort-sur-Soulzon. The same care is extended to certain crops, like the Cévennes sweet onion which was first cultivated on terraces in the Cévennes mountains by monks in the Middle Ages. Because terroir is soil but also the taste of a place, and the roots of the people that go deep into the land they live on.
