Shepherd and producer of the famous local cake with the Biot recipe!
This centuries-old cake is part of the local heritage.
At once rustic and precious, it was a delight for senior citizens when they gathered in the village of Biot for weekly vespers
(snacks).
They would cook the snouts under the ashes and, it is said, "washed down with strong pints of wine, these agapes gave them a youthful ardour".
The legend :
In the mists of time, when the river rumbled after the winter rains and the melting snow, the inhabitants took refuge a little higher up on the mountain overlooking Brassac. At certain times, they may even have settled near this little village of Biot, whose name means 'hamlet' in Indo-European. The demon of the flooding river was a "tarasque", and it was appropriate to appease it and offer it gifts. As a symbol of wealth and divine gift, bread was reserved for her. Thus was born "le casse museau" made from sheep's milk, in a secret still jealously guarded because it has the power of exorcism.
This product is available in shops in Brassac.
