Children’s groups : Awaken your senses! Workshop around the cheeses of Savoie

    Abondance

    Observe, smell, listen, touch, taste: an approach that awakens the senses around the cheeses of Savoy!

    Savoy cheeses have many fans, but can they recognise them “blind”?
    After a presentation on the nutritional value of milk, the different cheese types and the different stages of production, children will rediscover Savoie cheeses by focusing on their 5 senses and sharing their impressions. An approach that awakens all the senses!

    Topics covered: the 5 senses, each illustrated by an activity involving three of Savoie’s label cheeses: Abondance, Tomme de Savoie and Reblochon. The workshop ends with a tasting of these cheeses, of course!

    Organisation: explanations and discussions about the senses with the mediator, followed by individual activities.
