The presence of this French brand in Le Marriage is an event, bearing in mind that France is known as the “land of a thousand cheeses,” and represents one of the world’s foremost producers of this dairy.

The House of Cheese Le Marriage inaugurated by the tourism company Habaguanex in January 2014 as a place for cheese tasting and pairing with fine wines, has increased since opening its variety of offerings to complete a list of over 40 different types of cheese, including those domestically produced.

Within the national cheeses, variety reaches melts, the spun paste, fresh, cured, semi-cured and the blues.

Among the imported are Dutch cheeses (Edam, Maasdam, Gouda), French (Blue Roquefort, Brie, Camembert, Sheep, Processing, Cheese, Emmental, Cheddar), Argentina (Parmesan), Italian (Grana Padano), English (aged Cheddar) and Spanish (Manchepok, Manchego, goat).

Marriage will also offer wine red, white, rosé, sparkling and sweet and has a range of over 40 types of cheeses.

Camilo Berriz, commercial Habaguanex, said efforts to purchase imported cheeses as Président are now larger and more varied.

“At first we opened with only Spanish cheeses of the García Baquero brand, and Cuban cheeses,” he says.

“There are many places where there are only two or three types of cheese. For example, the Roquefort cheese, which is quite difficult to get, we offer it here, “he adds.
Cubans prefer blue cheese.

Le Marriage was created for the summer four special offerings that help with the price Cubans who are close to the Amargura and San Ignacio streets and are fans of these dairy and small and peaceful places: the capacity of the house is about 20 people.

The first of these summer deals is a table of Cuban cheeses with a bottle of wine (9 CUC). The second is a table of three Cuban cheeses with a pitcher of sangria (7 CUC). The third, a table of 600 grams of Cuban cheeses with a bottle of wine (15 cuc). And fourth, a marinade of cheese and basil, with a glass of wine (3.50 CUC).

“We did not know that the Cuban liked cheese so much,” María de los Ángeles Menéndez Menendez, manager of Le Marriage, told OnCuba.

Maria de los Angeles said that the regulars of the place are many musicians playing in the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, located very close to the House. “Also youngsters come often looking for the combination of cheeses with wines,” she adds.

When asked about more often bought cheeses, María de los Angeles says undoubtedly blue cheese.

“From this demand, we have created several dishes from this cheese, which is sold very well. Definitely the blue cheese is the king of all tables. ”
