A quality craftsman !
Not trivial, the course of David Fleuriel. This native of Normandy was destined to be a cook and his rich career had led him from Joël Robuchon at “Jamin” to Jacques Maximin at the “Diamant Rose”, passing Alain Ducasse at the “Louis XV”, before finding the bubbling “Maximin” in Vence. But his marriage, then his two children, had made him think about a new quality of life. It was then that he decided to learn a new trade in one of the oldest butcher shops in Vence: that of Jacques Harel, which he then bought, defending only the “top” of farm quality.

The "Craquelin"
What at first was just a small ball of brioche dough with a few almonds has become over time a real myth, a gourmet pleasure that everyone loves.
Even if it is often copied, the secret of the knack and the taste remain well kept!

Some history...
Yesterday and tomorrow… the Comté de Nice is at the crossroads of French and Italian culinary traditions. The first is renowned for the refinement of its cuisine, the second for the authenticity of its flavors. On this border, they have intertwined and influenced each other since the County joined France more than 150 years ago.
Métin Cheese Refinery
The Maître Affineur Thomas Métin is our source of inspiration for our cheese platters, very much in the French tradition… He is the supplier of many starred restaurants in the area!
With more than 150 cheeses, and a maturing cellar, Fromagerie Métin is nestled in the Haut Pays of Nice, in Vence more precisely. Not far from the famous historic city “St Paul de Vence”, this small local artisan has respected the dairy product for many years.
