Fromagerie Janin

La Maison Janin and cheese has been a family affair for more than sixty years: initially created by Robert Janin in 1960, the Champagne store offers a wide selection of cheese specialities made from cow's, goat's or sheep's milk. In the purest family tradition, the shop was first taken over by the son, Michel, and then (in 2008) by the grandson, Marc. In 2015, Marc was awarded the title of "Best Worker in France Creamer - Refiner" - the only one in the whole region - and is joined in the family business by his brother, Mathieu.

It is with passion and rigour that the two cheesemakers strive to select quality products from small producers scattered all over France. These gastronomic treasures are then matured, for many of them, in the cheese dairy's maturing cellar, thus benefiting from the "touch" of Maison Janin.

Numerous cheeses, whether or not they are Jura, can be discovered on the personal advice of Marc and Mathieu: comté, morbier, cancoillotte, bleu de Gex, mont d'or and raclette are obviously prominent, as are various mountain tommes (from the Jura, Savoie or the Pyrenees...), goat's milk cheeses or roquefort...

The cheese dairy also makes petits suisses and the famous "Fontainebleau", a succulent cream cheese emulsion. A selection of local producers (Jura wines, biscuits, jams and preserves...) allows customers to discover other specialities made in the area.

Cheese platters and gift boxes can also be put together in the shop, while customers from further afield can make their purchases online.
