Cheeses
Cheese addicts have a truly outstanding platter to choose from. Hard cheese, soft cheese, cheese spread and even a "liquid" cheese called cancoillotte. Here there's a cheese to suit every taste.
Quite simply, a must
When you taste Comté cheese you take a culinary journey into the heart of the Jura Mountains. Indeed, that is where Comté is made with the meticulous care that makes each wheel of cheese so unique!
Cheese in a box
Its hallmark is a lovely little round box made from sprucewood. What's special about this winter mountain cheese is that it's as delicious hot as it is cold.
A blue cheese of the mountains
Bleu de Gex is a mild blue cheese that also goes by the name of Bleu de Septmoncel.
Light pleasures
A liquid cheese that's easy to spread and very light! Indeed, it has a particularly low fat content (8% on average)
A cheese with character
There's no mistaking this cheese with an ash layer at its centre. It can be enjoyed any way you like and incorporated into any recipe.
