Cheeses
From December 2022, we will offer our customers the tasting of traditional French cheeses (except Gruyère which is Swiss), generally made from raw milk, which will be offered on a tray for tasting on site, but also for sale at the end of the stay so that your loved ones enjoy a real French local product.
Each cheese has a PDO: Protected Designation of Origin, a recognition which, at European level, guarantees respect for the terroir and the methods of production of milk and cheese, from feeding the cows to maturing. The PDO also makes it possible to preserve the cow breeds of each cheese.
The cheeses offered at the start will be:
- Comté with 08 months of ripening: raw cow's milk cheese with cooked pressed paste. Its terroir is the Jura massif. 400 liters of milk are needed for a wheel that will weigh about 40 kg.
