点评:Much more than meets the eye at this fabulous hidden gem!
Our visit with Tarik Lechkar was easily the highlight of our trip. If you think this is just a "simple" local farm visit, think again—there is so much more to this place than meets the eye!
Tarik gave us a fascinating, hands-on goat cheese making lesson, and we got to sample a variety of his homemade artisan cheeses. Every single one of them was absolutely delicious. It’s no surprise to learn that his cheeses are sought after and sold to some of the most famous chefs and high-end restaurants in Morocco.
Beyond the cheese, the experience was deeply enriching:
The Goats: We learned all about the different breeds he keeps and were lucky enough to see a sweet, 4-hour-old baby goat!
The Herb Garden & Philosophy: Tarik took us through his lush herb garden and shared his incredible, inspiring attitude toward life—reminding us to get up in the morning and just take time to smell the flowers and herbs.
The Knowledge: He pairs a massive scientific background with a deep knowledge of botanicals and traditional Berber techniques to create his unique cheese recipes.
We learned an immense amount from him in such a short window of time. And my microbiology heart was on high alert the whole time talking about the cheeses........Honestly, we could have stayed forever just talking to him about life, science, and philosophy. Do not miss the chance to visit Domaine De La Pommeraie and spend time with Tarik!
翻译:这家隐秘的宝藏农场远比你看到的精彩得多!
拜访塔里克·莱奇卡尔 (Tarik Lechkar) 绝对是我们此次旅行的亮点。如果你以为这只是一次“普通”的农场参观,那就大错特错了——这里远比你想象的更有内涵!
塔里克给我们上了一堂生动有趣的山羊奶酪制作课,我们还品尝了他自制的各种手工奶酪。每一种都美味无比。难怪他的奶酪备受追捧,甚至被摩洛哥一些最著名的厨师和高端餐厅所青睐。
除了奶酪之外,这次体验也让我们受益匪浅:
山羊:我们了解了他饲养的各种山羊品种,并且有幸见到了一只可爱的小山羊宝宝,它才出生4个小时!
香草园与人生哲学:塔里克带领我们参观了他郁郁葱葱的香草园,并分享了他令人钦佩的人生观——他提醒我们,清晨醒来,要抽出时间去感受花草的芬芳。
知识渊博:他将深厚的科学背景与对植物学和传统柏柏尔技艺的精深理解相结合,创造出独具特色的奶酪配方。
在如此短暂的时间里,我们从他身上学到了很多。而我那颗对微生物学充满热情的心,在他谈论奶酪的整个过程中都兴奋不已……说实话,我们真想永远和他聊聊生活、科学和哲学。千万不要错过参观波默莱庄园 (Domaine De La Pommeraie) 并与塔里克 (Tarik) 共度美好时光的机会!
