History has it that…. The Velay Plateau has a particular microclimate which benefits the green Puy lentils that grow there. The combination of severe cold at the start of the growing season and exceptional sunshine at the ripening stage, along with the volcanic soils, gives the lentils (also know as "poor man's caviar") their unique taste.
