Embracing the Unknown: My First Mountain Expedition

Embracing everything new is practically my life motto. This time, I ventured into the mountains for the first time. And not just into the mountains but on a trek!

There's nothing left to do but console yourself with a delicious picnic in the fresh air. But these moments are worth it. The crackling of the campfire, hot tea with honey, and the view of the 5,000-meter peaks perfectly complement Montarell cheeses and delicacies with a French twist. My favorites are brie, camembert, goat milk cheese, and goose liver pate, which you can find at Pyaterochka stores. What a delicious camembert, you must try it! I never thought such tasty cheeses could be so reasonably priced! Now, I only buy these. Now it's your turn to share your inspiration secrets! Want to win a large basket of Montarell delicacies?
