Laguiole (French pronunciation: [laɡjɔl], locally [lajɔl]), sometimes called Tome de Laguiole, is a French cheese from the plateau of Aubrac, situated at between 800 - 1500m, in the region of Aveyron in the southern part of France. It takes its name from the little village Laguiole and has been protected under the French Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) since 1961 and by the amended decree in 1986. Laguiole is said to have been invented at a monastery in the mountains of Aubrac in the 19th century. According to historical accounts, the monks passed down the recipe for making this cheese from cattle during the alpages to the local buronniers, the owners of burons, or mountain huts.
french-cheese.com describes the flavor as:
Laguiole ([lajɔl]; La Guiòla [la'jɔlɔ] in Occitan) is a commune in the Aveyron department in southern France.
It is known for its Laguiole cheese, which has an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (label of guaranteed origin), and as the birthplace of the Laguiole knife. The name of the village comes from la gleisòla, meaning a little church.
In this video I'm taking a look at a famous traditional French knife. The Laguiole was born in 1829 and is deeply rooted in the culture of shepherds, farmers and cattlemen in the region around the small village Laguiole in Southern France.

In this video we will look at a couple French designed knives that were popular in my youth since there was a trend back in the 80's was to go to France and bring back one of these knives. And I wanted one. So I finally added them to my collection. I don't use them as part of my EDC, just didn't work out based on my needs and how I carry knives. The first knife is the Opinel knife, from Savoie region of France. This is a very simple knife, typically with a birch handle and very few parts. The only design change was the addition of the safety collar. Used for light tasks in farming or headring circles, you can find this brand easily and they have many variations on this design. The other knife is a Laguiole. This refers to the region of France where this design came out. Originally base...

I am sure by now you would be well aware of my fondness for Opinel French knives and the classic Parker Jotter. However today, I review and discuss the luxury alternatives to my more modest choices.
